Problem formulation
Thus, in a deterministic approach, the goal is to infer from the sequence of obser-

In the case of tracking, the objective is then to estimate the sequence of states:
β 1 ,..., β n −→ X 1 ,..., X n
We will now briefly present the elementary model for bearings-only tracking using
passive target motion analysis (also known as BOT TMA ), by restricting ourselves first
to a target in uniform rectilinear motion in the plane. For a general representation, see
[NAR 84] and [CHA 92]. Let
X
be the state vector related to the target ( T ), defined
by:
X T X obs r x ,r y ,v x ,v y ,
X

The state dynamics equation (time-discrete) then has the following form:

from now on. Furthermore, we assume that α =1. The measurement equation is, in
this case:
β k = β k + w k =tan 1 r x,k

As you can see, the target's trajectory is determined by a state vector
X
, which is
X 0 ). Thus, under the Gaussian hypothesis,
