Extended target Poisson multi-Bernoulli mixture trackers based on sets of trajectories (1911.09025v1)

Abstract: The Poisson multi-Bernoulli mixture (PMBM) is a multi-target distribution for which the prediction and update are closed. By applying the random finite set (RFS) framework to multi-target tracking with sets of trajectories as the variable of interest, the PMBM trackers can efficiently estimate the set of target trajectories. This paper derives two trajectory RFS filters for extended target tracking, called extended target PMBM trackers. Compared to the extended target PMBM filter based on sets on targets, explicit track continuity between time steps is provided in the extended target PMBM trackers.
