A Scalable Track-Before-Detect Method With Poisson/Multi-Bernoulli Model

Signal Processing 2021-09-06 v1

Abstract

We propose a scalable track-before-detect (TBD) tracking method based on a Poisson/multi-Bernoulli model. To limit computational complexity, we approximate the exact multi-Bernoulli mixture posterior probability density function (pdf) by a multi-Bernoulli pdf. Data association based on the sum-product algorithm and recycling of Bernoulli components enable the detection and tracking of low-observable objects with limited computational resources. Our simulation results demonstrate a significantly improved tracking performance compared to a state-of-the-art TBD method.
