The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is a popular topic in recent years, and the quadcopter is a helicopter-kind unmanned aerial vehicle. This paper uses quadcopter as an example to simulate and observe the dynamic model of quadcopter. Although the dynamic model of the quadcopter is very complicated, but the observation method is very simple, only using a camera or an observer to directly observe its position. The measurement results represent as an angle. This tracking method can be deal as a “bearings-only tracking” problem, we use the cylindrical coordinate which is a proper method. Generally, the quadcopter is to move horizontally in the air. It simplify the complex three-dimensional object tracking as a two-dimensional object tracking. here are many tracking algorithm, like Kalman filter, Extend Kalman filter and adaptive filter. However, the dynamic model of the quadcopter is not a linear equation, and the state transition matrix, have unknowns parameters, and the matrix cannot be inverse . Therefore, this paper combine the particle filter to tracking object on plane. Keywords: particle filter, object tracking
