Abstract
An algorithm, the bootstrap filter, is proposed for implementing recursive Bayesian filters. The required density of the state vector is represented as a set of random samples, which are updated and propagated by the algorithm. The method is not restricted by assumptions of linear- ity or Gaussian noise: it may be applied to any state transition or measurement model. A simula- tion example of the bearings only tracking problem is presented. This simulation includes schemes for improving the efficiency of the basic algorithm. For this example, the performance of the bootstrap filter is greatly superior to the standard extended Kalman filter.

Resampling methods for particle filtering: identical distribution, a new method, and comparable study

TL;DR: More than a dozen typical resampling methods are compared via simulations in terms of sample size variation, sampling variance, computing speed, and estimation accuracy, providing solid guidelines for either selection of existing resamplings methods or new implementations.

Improved particle filters for multi-target tracking

TL;DR: A novel approach based on drift homotopy for stochastic differential equations is presented for improving particle filters for multi-target tracking with a nonlinear observation model and the numerical results show that the suggested approach can improve significantly the performance of a particle filter.

The marginalized particle filter in practice

TL;DR: The marginalized particle filter as discussed by the authors is a powerful combination of the particle filter and the Kalman filter, which can be used when the underlying model contains a linear sub-structure, subject to Gaussian noise.

Gaussian Particle Implementations of Probability Hypothesis Density Filters

TL;DR: In this article, a new particle implementation of the probability hypothesis density (PHD) filter is presented, which does not require clustering to determine target states and is restricted to linear Gaussian target dynamics, since it uses the Kalman filter to estimate the means and covariances of the Gaussians.
