Method, device, computer program and computer program product for tracking the path of motion of a moving object. The method includes a) providing data of at least one state variable to be determined, which influences the movement of the moving object, at a first point in time; b) initializing the probability density (p) of the at least one state variable to be determined at the first point in time; c) predicting of the probability density (p) of the at least one state variable to be determined at a next point in time after the first point in time; d) verifying of whether measurement data are available that can be used for a calculation of the probability density (p) of the at least one state variable to be determined, and d') recalculating the probability density (p) with these measurement data when such data is available; e) calculating the prediction values of the state variable(s) to be determined from the probability density (p); f) outputting the calculated prediction values to a downstream data processing device; and g) repeating the steps c) through f). The steps of initializing the probability density (p) of step b); predicting the probability density (p) of step c); recalculating the probability density (p) of step d&#x2032;); and calculating the prediction values of step e) are performed by discretizing the probability density (p) on sparse grids.

Method and control system for providing control commands for a vehicle steerable by an operating unit or for an image acquisition device of the vehicle by sequential display of acquired image data on an image display device of the operating unit connected to the vehicle via a data transfer connection. The method includes acquiring data of an image recorded by the image acquisition device, acquiring vehicle state data at a time the image was recorded, and compressing the image data. The method also includes transferring the compressed image data and the vehicle state data via the data transfer connection to the operating unit, decompressing the transferred image data to form a displayable image, and displaying the displayable image on the image display device. The method further includes entering an operator command into the operating unit to at least one of change a direction of movement of the vehicle and change a direction of view of the image acquisition device, calculating a new image from the displayable image that takes into account the transferred vehicle state data and the entered operator command, displaying the new image on the image display device instead of the displayable image, and transferring a control command from the operator command to the vehicle via the data transfer connection.

Method for providing control commands for a vehicle steerable by means of an operating unit and control system for a steerable vehicle of this type

Method, tracking system, and intercept missile for tracking highly maneuverable target objects. The method includes estimating the motion of the at least one target object via a mathematical method that includes a filter method relating to a model assumption for estimating at least one of the motion and an orientation of the target object. The filter method includes a semi-martingale algorithm for estimating motion.
