Abstract
Range and angle measurement errors may be correlated when centroid image processing is applied on radar images of extended targets. This paper describes how a model of the correlation between target heading and measurement error can be used to improve the accuracy of tracking filters. The performance of the presented tracking algorithms is tested using a trajectory generator based on jump Markov nonlinear systems.
