This comprehensive book begins by covering the different types of filters in use, and then starts covering the issues related to adjusting the parameters involved for certain uses. e.g. the markov coefficients in the Interacting Multiple Model filter with coordinated turns etc. The book then braches off to consider multitarget problems or problems in which targets split, or multisensor problems with heterogeneous sensors etc.

Realistic examples are given, and the printed format of this book is ideal not only for presentations, but also for easy reading. The style is `chatty' with a couple of funny quipps thrown in, but very to the point and un-pretentious. As is pointed out in the preample, the authors go to great lengths to use the minimum amount of math necessary for derivations etc. without sacrificing understanding. However, there aren't too many derivations, although happily, there is still a fair bit of math involved eg. in estimating the number of false alarms in an environment involving clutter etc. Basically this book addresses almost all the known methods/techniques in the field and presents them in a very clear and concise manner. Great value for money (and this is coming from someone who bought this while being paid a salary in Canadian $$).
