Abstract :
This paper investigates the problem of estimating parameters necessary to predict the trajectory of a maneuvering acoustic target using passive sensors of uncertain position. A batch oriented maximum a-priori (MAP) estimation scheme is used to determining both the sensor movement and the target trajectory from the data. A typical simulation is presented, and the results show that the algorithm permits estimation of the sensor positions along with that of the target trajectory
