Abstract
A system and a method for tracking an expanded state of an object including a kinematic state indicative of a position of the object and an extended state indicative of one or combination of a dimension and an orientation of the object is provided herein. The system comprises at least one sensor configured to probe a scene including a moving object with one or multiple signal transmissions to produce one or multiple measurements of the object per the transmission, and a processor configured to execute a probabilistic filter tracking a joint probability of the expanded state of the object estimated by a motion model of the object and a measurement model of the object, wherein the measurement model includes a center-truncated distribution having predetermined truncation intervals. The system further comprises an output interface configured to output the expanded state of the object.
