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.

On-Line Inference for Hidden Markov Models via Particle Filters.

TL;DR: This work considers the on‐line Bayesian analysis of data by using a hidden Markov model, where inference is tractable conditional on the history of the state of the hidden component, and shows that a new particle filter algorithm is introduced and shown to produce promising results when analysing data of this type.

Message Passing Algorithms for Scalable Multitarget Tracking

TL;DR: This tutorial paper advocates a recently proposed paradigm for scalable multitarget tracking that is based on message passing or, more concretely, the loopy sum–product algorithm, which provides a highly effective, efficient, and scalable solution to the probabilistic data association problem, a major challenge in multitargettracking.
