This paper proposes a novel joint multi-speaker tracking-andseparation method based on the generalized labeled multi-Bernoulli (GLMB) multi-target tracking filter, using sound mixtures recorded by microphones. Standard multi-speaker tracking algorithms usually only track speaker locations, and ambiguity occurs when speakers are spatially close. The proposed multi-feature GLMB tracking filter tr...

1 Proc. Fifth International Conference on Information Fusion (Fusion 2002), Annapolis, MD, U.S.A. Abstract Out-of-sequence measurements (OOSMs) arise in a multi-sensor central-tracking system due to communication network delays and varying preprocessing times at the sensor platforms. During the last few years a great deal of research has focussed attention on the OOSM filtering problem. However...

Multiple target tracking (MTT) is taken into account as one of the most important topics in tracking targets with radars. In this paper, the MTT problem is used for estimating the position of multiple targets when a 2-D radar is employed to gather measurements. To do so, the Joint Probabilistic Data Association Filter (JPDAF) approach is applied to tracking the position of multiple targets. To ...

Many surveillance tasks rely on the generation of stable, continuous tracks of objects of interest. Often, track continuity has a higher priority than track accuracy, as valuable information on the identity or the origin of an object is lost by each track drop. The main source of track fragmentation are missing detections due to a limited field of view or technical or topographical masking. In ...

Given a set of target detections over several time periods, this paper addresses the multi-target tracking problem (MTT) of optimally assigning detections to targets and estimating the trajectory of the targets over time. MTT has been studied in the literature via predominantly probabilistic methods. In contrast to these approaches, we propose the use of mixed integer optimization (MIO) models ...

In a multifunction radar, the maximum number of targets which can be managed or tracked is an important performance measure. Interleaving algorithms developed to operate radars exploit the dead-times between the transmitted and the received pulses to allocate new tracking tasks that might involve transmitting or receiving pulses, thus increasing the capacity of the system. The problem of interl...

This paper describes a real-time system for multi-target tracking and classification in image sequences from a single stationary camera. Several targets can be tracked simultaneously in spite of splits and merges amongst the foreground objects and presence of clutter in the segmentation results. In results we show tracking of upto 17 targets simultaneously. The algorithm combines Kalman filter-...

Ladars provide a unique capability for identification of objects and motions in scenes with fixed 3D field of view (FOV). This paper describes algorithms for multi-target tracking in 3D scenes including the preprocessing (mathematical morphology and Parzen windows), labeling of connected components, sorting of targets by selectable attributes (size, length of track, velocity), and handling of t...
