Integrated track initialization and maintenance in heavy clutter using probabilistic data association
A PDA-based multitarget tracker in heavy clutter environment is proposed. The new approach can automatically the initialize and maintain the tracks. The new approach does not require the number of targets in advance. The JML-PDA is extended to the scenario of arbitrary number of targets. CRLB is derived to evaluate the performance of the estimation.
