This paper presents the optimal solution for the generalized, one-dimensional target tracking prediction and smoothing process. Closed form, steady state solutions for the α, α-β, and α-β-γ prediction tracker (parameters and performance) are shown to be dependent on the Tracking Index [1], a function of the track period, measurement noise and target maneuverability. An off-line smoothed track is obtained...
This paper addresses the problem of estimating the variances of maneuver and masurement noise in α-β Target Tracking Systems. A switching modeling process augments the original tracking states with the maneuver and measurement noise states which leads to noise tracks generated by the α-β target tracker. It is shown that noise variance estimates can be obtained by using noise track estimate variances...
The Tracking Index [1] has been shown to be a useful parameter in describing target tracking problems and the unique tracking solution; the α-β tracking parameters and the tracking performance. This paper extends the Tracking Index concept to include the α-β predictor and smoother. The smoother is efficiently obtained by combining a forward time α-β tracker with a backwards time α-β predictor. The...
