Obtaining accurate line-of-sight (LOS) rates is a challenging task for strapdown imaging seekers. The traditional Kalman filter and its improved algorithm are difficult to deal with the non-Gaussian noise. To this end, we design a model-driven and data-driven filter using long short-term memory (LSTM) recurrent neural network. A decoupling algorithm is proposed to isolate LOS information from the attitude angle and generate one-step predictions. Predictions and observations are used as input for supervised learning, which solves the problem of difficult to describe noise features. Finally, we design a simulation experiment to compare the proposed LSTM model with extended Kalman filter (EKF), unscented Kalman filtering (UKF) and particle filter (PF) on the task of estimating the LOS angle and LOS rate. The experimental results show that the proposed LSTM model is better than the other three methods in terms of accuracy.
