Measurement-driven multi-target multi-Bernoulli filter (Q1721268)

Summary: A measurement-driven multi-target multi-Bernoulli (MeMBer) filter which modifies the MeMBer filter by the measurements information is proposed in this paper. The proposed filter refines both the legacy estimates and the data-induced estimates of the MeMBer filter. For the targets under the legacy track set, the detection probabilities derived from the measurements are employed to refine the multi-target distribution. And for the targets under the data-induced track set, the multi-target distribution is further improved by the modified existence probabilities of the legacy tracks. Unlike the cardinality balanced MeMBer (CBMeMBer) filter, the proposed filter removes the cardinality bias in the MeMBer filter by utilizing the measurements information. Simulation results show that, compared with the traditional methods, the proposed filter can improve the stability and accuracy of the estimates and does not need the high detection probability hypothesis.
