Abstract
In one embodiment, a method of tracking multiple objects with a probabilistic hypothesis density filter is provided. The method includes obtaining measurements corresponding to a first object with at least one sensor, the at least one sensor providing one or more first track IDs for the measurements. A Tfirst predicted intensity is generated for the first object based on a Tfirst track intensity. A Tmeasurement from a first sensor of the at least one sensors is obtained, the first sensor providing a second track ID for the Tmeasurement. The second track ID is compared to the one or more first track IDs, and the Tfirst predicted intensity is selectively updated with the Tmeasurement based on whether the second track ID matches any of the one or more first track IDs to generate a Tfirst measurement-to-track intensity for the first object.
