Target Tracking Based on Bearing Only Measurements

Abstract

This report develops 10 different approaches to the target tracking problem based on bearing only observations. Its purpose is to form the basis for an extensive simulation study, aimed at achieving the best possible tracking performance for this tracking problem. Included in the report are also a proposed initialization routine for bearing only trackers, and a maneuver detection algorithm with a proposed action scheme following the maneuver detection.
