Knowledge-based estimation methods

To gain insight into the idiosyncrasies of knowledge-based estimators, and to contrast them with those of their more established brethren, the authors consider the performance of an image-enhanced estimator in a specific scenario; an agile target moving in the plane with intermittent maneuvers is tracked from a fixed location. Some of the issues that arise in image generation and interpretation in a tactical environment. New sensors require novel architectures to capture their potential for performance improvement. It has been shown that the response of an image-enhanced tracking loop is superior to that attainable from conventional trackers without imaging capability. From this study, it is evident that an image enhanced tracker can achieve good quiescent performance without a severe penalty during turn
