EFFICIENT MULTI-TARGET TRACKING METHOD

摘要

A method for multi-target tracking of targets from a sensor system generating a sequence of successive data frames. The method includes the steps of deleting stale data and any hypotheses generated for the previous frame, leaving an unstructured collection of tracks. Observations in each frame are processed to form a set of tracks. A fresh set of hypotheses is formed from the new track set, wherein none of the tracks within any hypothesis have any observation in common. Track clusters may be formed to reduce the processing burden.
