About this Item

This book views multiple target tracking as a Bayesian inference problem. Within this framework it develops the theory of single target tracking, multiple target tracking, and likelihood ratio detection and tracking. In addition to providing a detailed description of a basic particle filter that implements the Bayesian single target recursion, this resource provides numerous examples that involve the use of particle filters. With these examples illustrating the developed concepts, algorithms, and approaches -- the book helps radar engineers track when observations are nonlinear functions of target site, when the target state distributions or measurement error distributions are not Gaussian, in low data rate and low signal to noise ratio situations, and when notions of contact and association are merged or unresolved among more than one target.

About this title

Synopsis

Mathematicians develop the mathematical theory of multiple target tracking from a standard Bayesian point of view. Within the context of a Bayesian inference problem, they develop the theory of single-target tracking, multiple-target tracking, and likelihood ratio detection and tracking. The second edition incorporates changes in the field by describing a basic particle filter that implements Bayesian single-target recursion, presenting three algorithms that provide approximate solutions to multiple-target tracking problems, including new information on multi-target intensity filters and the maximum a posteriori penalty function technique, and making other changes.
