<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To precisely maintain a tracking state, even when all regions where targets exist can not be observed simultaneously. <P>SOLUTION: Tracking processing is performed at each observation time of day or at each observation region, by providing a second delay means 10 for delaying a smoothed vector and a smoothing error covariance matrix, and an extraporation processing means 11 for extraporation-predicting these delayed outputs up to the current observation time, and performing tracking (gate) processing 13 using either a predicted vector or an extraporation-predicted vector. Consequently, precise tracking processing can be performed even when observed vectors of all the targets can not obtained at identical time. In addition, it is unnecessary to wait for observed vectors of all the targets to arrive, even in the same sampling section. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO</p> |
