Abstract: One of the major factors that affects the performance of adaptive filters like Particle Filter (PF), Marginalized Particle Filter (MPF) and Adaptive Marginalized Particle Filter (AMPF) is sample degeneracy. Sample degeneracy occurs when the weights associated with particles converges to zero making them useless in state estimation. Resampling is the most common method used to avoid sample degeneracy problem, in which a new set of particles are generated and weights are assigned. Performance and execution time of these filter depends a lot on what type of resampling technique is employed. AMPF is the modified version of MPF which is typically faster than PF and MPF. The main aim of this paper is to find the effect of different types of resampling on the performance and execution time of AMPF. For this, a typical target tracking problem is simulated using MATLAB. AMPF with different types of resampling techniques is used for state estimation for the above-mentioned problem and the best in terms of performance and execution speed will be found out. From the simulation, it will be clear that AMPF with systematic resampling is found to be best in terms of execution speed and performance i.e. minimum Root Mean Square Error.
