Abstract :
The aim of this paper is to compare, in the domain of the Bearings-only Target Motion Analysis (BTMA) with two observers, three approaches in terms of tracking performances : the Interacting Multiple Models (IMM) based on the Extended Kalman Filtering, the Hidden Markov Models (HMM) and the approximated densities filtering based on the maximum of entropy.
