This is the third part of a series of papers that provide a comprehensive survey of the techniques for tracking maneuvering targets without addressing the so-called measurement-origin uncertainty. Part I [1] and Part II [2] deal with general target motion models and ballistic target motion models, respectively. This part surveys measurement models, including measurement model-based techniques, used in target tracking. Models in Cartesian, sensor measurement, their mixed, and other coordinates are covered. The stress is on more recent advances -topics that have received more attention recently are discussed in greater details.

This is the fifth part of a series of papers that provide a comprehensive survey of techniques for tracking maneuvering targets without addressing the so-called measurement-origin uncertainty. Part I and Part II deal with target motion models. Part III covers measurement models and associated techniques. Part IV is concerned with tracking techniques that are based on decisions regarding target maneuvers. This part surveys the multiple-model methods-the use of multiple models (and filters) simultaneously-which is the prevailing approach to maneuvering target tracking in recent years. The survey is presented in a structured way, centered around three generations of algorithms: autonomous, cooperating, and variable structure. It emphasizes the underpinning of each algorithm and covers various issues in algorithm design, application, and performance.
