The vast increase in the available computational capability has allowed the application of Particle-Filter (PF)-based approaches for monocular 3D-model-based tracking. These filters depend on the computation of a likelihood function that is usually unavailable and can be approximated using a similarity metric. We can use temporal filtering techniques between filter iterations to achieve better results when dealing with this suboptimal approximation, which is particularly important when dealing with the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) model symmetry. The similarity metric evaluation time is another critical concern since we usually want a real-time implementation. We explored, tested, and compared with the same dataset two different types of PFs, (i) an Unscented Bingham Filter (UBiF) and (ii) an Unscented Bingham–Gauss Filter (UBiGaF), using pose optimization in both implementations. Using optimization steps between iterations increases the convergence capability of the filter and decreases the obtained error. A new tree-based similarity metric approach is also explored based on the Distance Transform (DT), allowing a faster evaluation of the possibilities without losing accuracy. The results showed that the obtained pose estimation error is compatible with the automatic landing requirements.
