This paper presents the probability hypothesis density (PHD) filter for sets of trajectories. The resulting filter, which is referred to as trajectory probability density filter (TPHD), is capable of estimating trajectories in a principled way without requiring to evaluate all measurement-to-target association hypotheses. As the PHD filter, the TPHD filter is based on recursively obtaining the ...

Particle probability hypothesis density filtering has become a promising approach for multi-target tracking due to its capability of handling an unknown and time-varying number of targets in a nonlinear, non-Gaussian system. However, its computational complexity linearly increases with the number of obtained observations and the number of particles, which can be very time consuming, particularl...

Target class measurements, if available from automatic target recognition systems, can be incorporated into multiple target tracking algorithms to improve measurement-to-track association accuracy. In this work, the performance of the classifier is modeled as a confusion matrix, whose entries are target class likelihood functions that are used to modify the update equations of the recently deri...
