Abstract
A new model for targets moving in two dimensions is presented. Target motion is modelled as constant velocity with occasional along-track an d cross-track acceleration inputs. Simulations show that a tracker bas ed on this new model produces estimates superior to both the variable- dimension filter (VDF) and the circular-turn-based interacting multipl e-model (IMM) tracker. By using nested multiple models, a modified tra cker is created which has considerable computational savings compared with a standard IMM tracker.
