A suboptimization method of multitarget tracking algorithm M/sup 3/JPDA

Abstract

The M/sup 3/JPDA algorithm has been reported to be suitable for tracking highly maneuvering targets in dense environment. This paper presents a suboptimization method of the M/sup 3/JPDA algorithm for the reduction of the calculation time. Our method simplifies the probability calculations so that the probabilities of motion models and observation-to-track data association can be computed independently.
