Abstract
This paper addresses the drone tracking problem, using a model based on the Frenet-Serret frame. A kinematic model in 2D, representing intrinsic coordinates of the drone is used. The tracking problem is tackled using two recent filtering methods. On the one hand, the Invariant Extended Kalman Filter (IEKF), introduced in [1] is tested, and on the other hand, the second step of the filtering algorithm, i.e. the update step of the IEKF is replaced by the update step of the Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF), introduced in [2]. These two filters are compared to the well known Extended Kalman Filter. The estimation precision of all three algorithms are computed on a real drone tracking problem.
