Multiple manoeuvre model track-oriented MHT (multiple hypothesis tracking)

Abstract

The problem of multiple-target tracking in a dense environment using the MHT (multiple hypothesis tracking) or the JPDA (joint probabilistic data association) has received a lot of attention in recent years. This paper provides a new technique for manoeuvring target tracking in a dense environment, using the track-oriented MHT which is a significant improvement of the original measurement-oriented MHT. This paper has shown the condition that this technique is equivalent to the M/sup 3/JPDA (multiple manoeuvre model JPDA). Here, the M/sup 3/JPDA for manoeuvring multitarget tracking is the extension and improvement of the conventional JPDA.
