Extended Target Marginal Distribution Poisson Multi-Bernoulli Mixture Filter

The existence of clutter, unknown measurement sources, unknown number of targets, and undetected probability are problems for multi-extended target tracking, to address these problems; this paper proposes a gamma-Gaussian-inverse Wishart (GGIW) implementation of a marginal distribution Poisson multi-Bernoulli mixture (MD-PMBM) filter. Unlike existing multiple extended target tracking filters, the GGIW-MD-PMBM filter computes the marginal distribution (MD) and the existence probability of each target, which can shorten the computing time while maintaining good tracking results. The simulation results confirm the validity and reliability of the GGIW-MD-PMBM filter.
