Theoretical limits to the accuracy with which target trajectory parameters can be estimated from stochastic data are derived via the Cramer-Rao bound. As examples of their use, the limits are applied to a simple one-dimensional tracking exercise and to a more complicated bearings-only tracking problem.

Inspec keywords: tracking systems; parameter estimation

Other keywords: target motion analysis; stochastic data; estimation; tracking exercise; target trajectory parameters; Cramer Rao bound

Subjects: Simulation, modelling and identification
