The brief review of methods used for estimating the target state in single and multi-sensor bearing only tracking (BOT) is presented in this paper. It deals with the target state estimation using bearing only measurements. BOT is difficult because of its poor observability in target state and nonlinearity in measurements. The complete survey is done on existing techniques, involved to overcome the difficulties caused by BOT. Here, the target tracking scenarios are divided into three different categories based on the nature of target motion and the number of target and sensors involved. The existing techniques involved are reviewed in detail. Finally the future trends for BOT are also discussed.
