Abstract:

Effective implementation of the fast labeled multi-Bernoulli (FLMB) filter is addressed for target tracking with interval measurements. Firstly, a sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) implementation of the FLMB filter, SMC-FLMB filter, is derived based on generalized likelihood function weighting. Then, a box particle (BP) implementation of the FLMB filter, BP-FLMB filter, is developed, with a computational complexity reduction of the SMC-FLMB filter. Finally, an improved version of the BP-FLMB filter, improved BP-FLMB (IBP-FLMB) filter, is proposed, improving its estimation accuracy and real-time performance under the conditions of low detection probability and high clutter. Simulation results show that the BP-FLMB filter has a great improvement of the real-time performance than the SMC-FLMB filter, with similar tracking performance. Compared with the BP-FLMB filter, the IBP-FLMB filter has better estimation performance and real-time performance under the conditions of low detection probability and high clutter.

Key words: multi-target tracking, interval measurements, fast labeled multi-Bernoulli (FLMB) filter, sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) implementation, box particle (BP) implementation
