A Survey of Maneuvering Target Tracking—Part III: Measurement Models

This is the third part of a series of papers that provide a comprehensive survey of the techniques for tracking maneuvering targets without addressing the so-called measurement-origin uncertainty. Part I [1] and Part II [2] deal with general target motion models and ballistic target motion models, respectively. This part surveys measurement models, including measurement model-based techniques, used in target tracking. Models in Cartesian, sensor measurement, their mixed, and other coordinates are covered. The stress is on more recent advances - topics that have received more attention recently are discussed in greater details.
