Abstract

For mitigating unstable behavior and low accuracy of common bearing-only tracking algorithm, the target motion models were built combined with terrain information constrain, and a new bearing-only tracking algorithm was proposed based on multi-bearing measurement with measurement noise. This method makes best use of terrain information and incorporates it into the equations of state and equations of measurement by using Pseudo-measurement, which mitigates discontinuity of measured information obtained by observer. Then, the improved particle filters were used for estimating the constrained moving target's state. The simulation results reveal that the method is useful, which can improve the estimation of observed state vector to improve tracking accuracy as well as lower requirement for the observer's maneuver.
