Recursive Bayesian estimation: bearings-only applications

Recursive Bayesian estimation methods are applied to several angle-only applications. Air-to-air passive ranging, in addition to an air-to-sea application with terrain induced constraints, is discussed. The incorporation of terrain information improves estimation performance. The bearings-only problem is also discussed using experimental data from a torpedo, i.e. sea-to-sea with a passive sonar sensor. The Bayesian estimation problem is solved using the particle filter and the marginalised particle filter. For comparison, a filter bank method using range parameterised extended Kalman filters is used.
