Abstract
In one embodiment, a method for tracking multiple objects with a probabilistic hypothesis density filter is provided. The method includes comparing second track IDs corresponding to newly obtained measurements to one or more first track IDs corresponding to a Tpredicted intensity having a predicted weight. If all of the one or more first track IDs match any of the second track IDs, the predicted weight is multiplied by a first value. If less than all of the one or more first track IDs match any of the second track IDs, the predicted weight is multiplied by a second value, wherein the second value is greater than the first value. The method then determines whether to prune the Tpredicted intensity based on the predicted weight after multiplying with either the first value or the second value.
