Abstract

The iterative form of Cramer-Rao bound estimated by the two-dimensional dynamic system was presented for comprehensive analysis of the performance of several classical nonlinear filters applied in bearing-only tracking. The extended Kalman filter shifted Rayleigh filter, unscented Kalman filter, cubature Kalman filter and particle filter were compared with each other through simulation experiments. Simulation experiments show both the CKF and the PF can obtain better accuracy than other filters. The computation cost of the CKF is lower than that of the PF. The CKF reaches perfect balance between accuracy and computation cost.
