Abstract
The conventional Kalman tracking filter incurs mean tracking errors in the presence of a pilot-induced target maneuver. Chan,Hu, and Plant proposed a solution to this problem which used themean deviations of the residual innovation sequence to make corrections to the Kalman filter. This algorithm is further developedhere for the case of a one-dimensional Kalman filter, for which an Implementable closed-form recursive relation exists. Simulation results show that the Chan, Hu, and Plant method can accurately detect and correct an acceleration discontinuity under a variety of maneuver models and radar parameters. Also, the inclusion of thislogic into a multiple hypothesis tracking system is briefly outlined.

Design of an interacting multiple model algorithm for air traffic control tracking

TL;DR: The design of a tracking algorithm based on the interacting multiple model (IMM) configuration for a generic air traffic control tracking problem is presented and significant noise reduction is achieved during the uniform motion while maintaining the accuracy of the state estimates better than the unfiltered raw radar measurements during the maneuver.

Estimating Optimal Tracking Filter Performance for Manned Maneuvering Targets

TL;DR: In this paper, an optimal Kalman filter has been derived for this purpose using a target model that is simple to implement and that represents closely the motions of maneuvering targets, using this filter, parametric tracking accuracy data have been generated as a function of target maneuver characteristics, sensor observation noise, and data rate and that permits rapid a priori estimates of tracking performance to be made when the target is to be tracked by sensors providing any combination of range, bearing, and elevation measurements.

Optimal adaptive estimation of sampled stochastic processes

TL;DR: In this article, an adaptive approach to the problem of estimating a sampled, stochastic process described by an initially unknown parameter vector is presented, which is composed of a set of elemental estimators and a corresponding set of weighting coefficients, one pair for each possible value of the parameter vector.

A Kalman Filter Based Tracking Scheme with Input Estimation

TL;DR: In this article, a least square estimator is used to estimate the acceleration input vector of a target and a simple Kalman filter is used for tracking the target in constant course and speed mode.
