Information type filters for tracking a maneuvering target
M. Farooq, Stephen Bruder · IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems · 1990
Two previously proposed adaptive covariance-type Kalman filtering techniques for tracking maneuvering targets (see Y.T. Chan et al. ibid., p.237-44, Mar. 1979, and Z. Tang et al. Report, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oct. 1983) are developed further to utilize the information-type Kalman filter. These adaptive information-type filters are described in structurally decoupled forms, thereby greatly reducing the computational requirements while rendering the filters amenable to implementation on parallel processors. A coherent decision procedure for including partial coupling when necessary is developed via offline analysis of crosscorrelation functions.>
