Popis: To justify the introduction of new sensor hardware, the potential performance improvement must be sufficient to warrant the additional expense and potential design risks that a change in system architecture entails. This paper compares the response of an image-enhanced tracker with that obtained from a conventional sensor suite. Because the underlying motion model is nonlinear and the tracking environment non-Gaussian, performance is scenario dependent. For a problem of tracking an agile target in the plane, it is shown that a system containing an imager is superior to an orthodox tracker without one.
