A Student's t Mixture Probability Hypothesis Density Filter for Multi-Target Tracking with Outliers. |

---|---|---|
In multi-target tracking, the outliers-corrupted process and measurement noises can reduce the performance of the probability hypothesis density (PHD) filter severely. To solve the problem, this paper proposed a novel PHD filter, called Student's tmixture PHD (STM-PHD) filter. The proposed filter models the heavy-tailed process noise and measurement noise as a Student's t distribution as well as approximates the multi-target intensity as a mixture of Student's t components to be propagated in time. Then, a closed PHD recursion is obtained based on Student's t approximation. Our approach can make full use of the heavy-tailed characteristic of a Student's t distribution to handle the situations with heavy-tailed process and the measurement noises. The simulation results verify that the proposed filter can overcome the negative effect generated by outliers and maintain a good tracking accuracy in the simultaneous presence of process and measurement outliers. |
