Estimating the Static Parameters in Linear Gaussian Multiple Target Tracking Models

Applications 2014-10-09 v1 Computation Methodology

Abstract

We present both offline and online maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) techniques for inferring the static parameters of a multiple target tracking (MTT) model with linear Gaussian dynamics. We present the batch and online versions of the expectation-maximisation (EM) algorithm for short and long data sets respectively, and we show how Monte Carlo approximations of these methods can be implemented. Performance is assessed in numerical examples using simulated data for various scenarios and a comparison with a Bayesian estimation procedure is also provided.
