Abstract:

Since the multi-object tracking performance of the traditional method will decline with unknown model parameters, a CPHD target tracking algorithm is proposed to jointly estimate the detection probability and measurement noise covariance. Firstly, for model the unknown parameters of multiple targets tracking, the detection probability is considered as a variable in a distribution. The detection probability can be obtained by estimating the mean of the distribution. Then, the Variational Bayesian method is used to estimate the covariance of the measurement noise. Finally, the Gaussian implementation of this algorithm is presented. Simulation results show that the algorithm has good tracking performance under jointly unknown detection probability and the covariance of the measurement noise.

Key words: detection probability, measurement noise covariance, variational Bayesian, multitarget tracking
