In multiple hypothesis or probability hypothesis based multiple target tracking the resulting mixtures with ever growing components should be approximated by a reduced mixture. Although there are cost based and more rigorous mixture reduction algorithms, which are computationally expensive to apply in practical situations especially in high dimensional state spaces, the mixture reduction is generally done based on ad hoc criteria and procedures. In this paper we propose a sequentially pairwise mixture reduction criterion and algorithm based on statistical decision theory. For this purpose, we choose the merging criterion for the mixture components based on a likelihood ratio test. The advantages and disadvantages of some of the previous reduction schemes and the newly proposed algorithm are discussed in detail. The results are evaluated on a Gaussian mixture implementation of the PHD filter where two different pruning and merging schemes are designed: one for computational feasibility, the other for the state extraction.

Extended Target Tracking using a Gaussian-Mixture PHD Filter
Granstrom, Karl; Lundquist, Christian; Orguner, Umut (2012-10-01)
This paper presents a Gaussian-mixture (GM) implementation of the probability hypothesis density (PHD) filter for tracking extended targets. The exact filter requires processing of all possible measurement set partitions, which is generally infeasible to implement. A method is proposed for limiting the number of considered partitions and possible alternatives are discussed. The implementation is used on simulated data and in experiments with real laser data, and the advantage of the filter is illustrated. S...
Extended target tracking with a cardinalized probability hypothesis density filter
Orguner, Umut; Granström, Karl (null; 2011-07-08)
This paper presents a cardinalized probability hypothesis density (CPHD) filter for extended targets that can result in multiple measurements at each scan. The probability hypothesis density (PHD) filter for such targets has already been derived by Mahler and a Gaussian mixture implementation has been proposed recently. This work relaxes the Poisson assumptions of the extended target PHD filter in target and measurement numbers to achieve better estimation performance. A Gaussian mixture implementation is d...
Use of probability hypothesis density filter for human activity recognition
Günay, Elif Erdem; Akar, Gözde; Demirekler, Mübeccel; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2016)
This thesis addresses a Gaussian Mixture Probability Hypothesis Density (GMPHD) based probabilistic group tracking approach to human action recognition problem. First of all, feature set of the video images denoted as observations are obtained by applying Harris Corner Detector(HCD) technique following a GMPHD lter, which is a state-of-the-art target tracking method. Discriminative information is extracted from the output of the GM-PHD lter and using these, recognition features are constructed related to ...

Multiple target tracking with Gaussian mixture PHD filter using passive acoustic Doppler-only measurements
Guldogan, Mehmet B.; Lindgren, David; Gustafsson, Fredrik; Habberstad, Hans; Orguner, Umut (null; 2012-09-12)
In this paper, we present the performance of the Gaussian mixture probability hypothesis density (GM-PHD) filter in tracking multiple ground targets using a passive acoustic-sensor network. For this purpose, an experimental setup consisting of a network of microphones and a loudspeaker was prepared. Non-cooperative transmissions from a loudspeaker (i.e. illuminator of opportunity) are exploited by non-directional separately located microphones (i.e. Doppler measuring sensors). Experimental proof-of-concept ...
