Title
Estimating the shape of targets with a PHD filter
Abstract
This paper presents a framework for tracking extended targets which give rise to a structured set of measurements per each scan. The concept of a measurement generating point (MGP) which is defined on the boundary of each target is introduced. The tracking framework contains an hybrid state space where MGP:s and the measurements are modeled by random finite sets and target states by random vectors. The target states are assumed to be partitioned into linear and nonlinear components and a Rao-Blackwellized particle filter is used for their estimation. For each state particle, a probability hypothesis density (PHD) filter is utilized for estimating the conditional set of MGP:s given the target states. The PHD kept for each particle serves as a useful means to represent information in the set of measurements about the target states. The early results obtained show promising performance with stable target following capability and reasonable shape estimates.
