Adaptive Tracking Algorithm Based on Modified Strong Tracking Filter

The strong tracking filter (STF) can reduce adaptively estimate bias and thus has ability to track maneuvering target in nonlinear systems. However, STF achieves the perfect performance in maneuvering segment at a cost of the precision in non-maneuvering segment. So based on the strong tracking filter, a new adaptive tracking algorithm (modified strong tracking filter, MSTF) is derived in this paper, which is also suitable for tracking maneuvering target and has improved the precision of STF in non-maneuvering segment as well as maneuvering segment. The Monte-Carlo simulation results show that the MSTF algorithm has a more excellent performance than STF and can estimate efficiently
