Hybrid motion models are useful for deriving algorithms for tracking maneuvering targets. Performance analysis of such trackers usually focuses on the accuracy of estimates of the kinematic states; e.g., location and velocity. The performance metric discussed here emphasizes motion mode estimation. It is shown that a well-studied tracker can be used for modal interval estimation and smoothing. An example displays the striking advantage of the approach.
