Summary: The Complete Book of Tracking
Review: A complete survey of modern tracking methods. Basic tracking fundamentals as well as advanced tracking concepts are explained with simple examples that are easy to follow and understand. In many instances I have gone to this book to understand things that were incomprehensible in journal articles. The book covers the basics of sensors, target dynamics, Kalman filtering, multiple hypothesis tracking, data fusion, reasoning schemes, sensor resource management, and more. My favorite chapter is the last: Detection and Tracking of Dim Targets in Clutter. If you are involved with tracking this book will be a valuable companion.

Summary: Comprehensive tracking reference
Review: This book covers all the basic methods in tracking and data association as traditionally used in applications such as radar, robotics, image processing, signal analysis, ... The book provides a very solid introduction to the different topics of sensor analysis, characterisation of uncertainty, methods for single and multi target tracking, etc. The topic of sensory fusion is also well covered in terms of different approaches to integration (MAP; Evidential Reasoning, Bayes,...). The book also covers more advanced topics of tracking systems such as situation assessment and sensor management. Here the authors have, unfortunately, decided to largely adopt a fuzzy logic approach and a POOR theoretical grounding of the work. These sections can be ignored. Despite the poor sections on high level aspects the rest of the book is excellent and a solid reference for any one working on tracking systems. It might is a solid reference, but it is much too expensive (and to comprehensive) to be used for teaching.
