Samuel Blackman, Robert Popoli. Design and Analysis of Modern Tracking Systems

Boston*London. — Artech House, 1999. — 1230 p.
Design and Analysis of Modern Tracking Systems can be considered a continuation of the book Multiple Target Tracking with Radar Applications (1986), which summarized the state-of-the-art of multiple-target tracking (MTT), with an emphasis on radar tracking. Since the publication of the earlier book, a great deal of algorithm development has occurred and rapidly increasing computational capabilities make current and future implementation of complex methods feasible. The intent of this new book is to provide updated state-of-the-art tracking methods, with more emphasis on infrared (IR) and multiple sensor systems, as well as radar.1. The Basics of Target Tracking
