In extended target tracking, targets potentially produce more than one measurement per time step. Multiple extended targets are therefore usually hard to track, due to the resulting complex data association. The main contribution of this paper is the implementation of a Probability Hypothesis Density ( phd) filter for tracking of multiple extended targets. A general modification of the phd filter to handle extended targets has been presented recently by Mahler, and the novelty in this work lies in the realisation of a Gaussian mixture phd filter for extended targets. Furthermore, we propose a method to easily partition the measurements into a number of subsets, each of which is supposed to contain measurements that all stem from the same source. The method is illustrated in simulation examples, and the advantage of the implemented extended target phd filter is shown in a comparison with a standard phd filter.

A Random Matrix Measurement Update Using Taylor-Series Approximations Sarıtaş, Elif; Orguner, Umut (2018-07-13) An approximate extended target tracking (ETT) measurement update is derived for random matrix extent representation with measurement noise. The derived update uses Taylor series approximations. The performance of the proposed update methodology is illustrated on a simple ETT scenario and compared to alternative updates in the literature.
A Variational Measurement Update for Extended Target Tracking With Random Matrices Orguner, Umut (2012-07-01) This correspondence proposes a new measurement update for extended target tracking under measurement noise when the target extent is modeled by random matrices. Compared to the previous measurement update developed by Feldmann et al., this work follows a more rigorous path to derive an approximate measurement update using the analytical techniques of variational Bayesian inference. The resulting measurement update, though computationally more expensive, is shown via simulations to be better than the earlier...
A PHD Filter for Tracking Multiple Extended Targets Using Random Matrices Granstrom, Karl; Orguner, Umut (2012-11-01) This paper presents a random set based approach to tracking of an unknown number of extended targets, in the presence of clutter measurements and missed detections, where the targets' extensions are modeled as random matrices. For this purpose, the random matrix framework developed recently by Koch et al. is adapted into the extended target PHD framework, resulting in the Gaussian inverse Wishart PHD (GIW-PHD) filter. A suitable multiple target likelihood is derived, and the main filter recursion is present...
On Spawning and Combination of Extended/Group Targets Modeled With Random Matrices Granstrom, Karl; Orguner, Umut (2013-02-01) In extended/group target tracking, where the extensions of the targets are estimated, target spawning and combination events might have significant implications on the extensions. This paper investigates target spawning and combination events for the case that the target extensions are modeled in a random matrix framework. The paper proposes functions that should be provided by the tracking filter in such a scenario. The results, which are obtained by a gamma Gaussian inverse Wishart implementation of an ex...
Extended target tracking using reduced rank gaussian processes Özcan , Mustafa Buğra; Özkan, Emre; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-2-12) Conventional tracking algorithms are predominantly based on point target assumption; however, this assumption is challenged as a result of the advents in sensor resolutions. Improvements on processors and rapid advances in sensor capabilities has enabled to the perception of target characteristics beyond the kinematics. Extended target tracking is the ability to learn target shapes that occupy multiple resolution cells and to track the motion of the target in a recursive framework. Gaussian process, a non-p...
