On Bayesian Tracking and Prediction of Radar Cross Section
Michał Meller · IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems · 2018
We consider the problem of Bayesian tracking of radar cross section. The adopted observation model employs the gamma family, which covers all Swerling cases in a unified framework. State dynamics are modeled using a nonstationary autoregressive gamma process. The principal component of the proposed solution is a nontrivial gamma approximation, applied during the time update recursion. The superior performance of the proposed approach is confirmed using simulations and a real-world dataset.
