Abstract
This paper considers the alpha-beta target tracking initiation process. In particular, we develop an efficient procedure to initialize the target tracker that brings the track from an initial fast rate, through an intermediate rate, and into the steady state rate. Alpha-beta parameters for a first-order approximation to the Kalman process are developed using a least squares method. The target-tracking problem of the Benchmark Challenge is studied for the selection of the intermediate track rate as well as the number of intermediate samples. A comparison of the error covariance is made between the first-order linear alpha-beta gain selection and the Kalman processes. It is shown that a performance delay of a few samples results when using a first-order alpha-beta gain selection process compared to the Kalman process.
