Multitarget track-before-detect from image observations based on multi-object particle PHD filter
2017
In order to deal with more complicated situations such as closely spaced objects and target crossings, we propose a recursive multitarget TBD algorithm for image observations based on multi-object particle PHD (MOP-PHD) filter. Instead of sampling from the single target PHD intensity, multi-object set particle sampling is utilized in the approximation of predicted multi-object density. Update of the multi-object state incorporates the multi-object set likelihood function corresponding to a more general observation model to accommodate the overlapping illumination of closely spaced point targets. Each multi-object set particle contains random number of possible single target states, and thus combined with the generalized observation model, the effect of multi-object states can be taken into account simultaneously during the multi-object measurement update procedure. Based on the standard Sequential Monte Carlo PHD (SMC-PHD) filter, multi-object particle PHD filter for image observations is developed and evaluated. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve more accurate estimation without the restriction of non-overlapping assumption, especially when the moving targets become closely spaced.
