Abstract :
The application of the interacting multiple model (IMM) estimation approach to the problem of target tracking when the measurements are perturbed by glint noise is considered. The IMM is a very effective approach when the system has discrete uncertainties in the dynamic or measurement model as well as continuous uncertainties. It is shown that this method performs better than the "score function" method. It is also shown that the IMM method performs robustly when the exact prior information of the glint noise is not available.<>
