Target tracking system
| DWPI Title: Method for identifying track for target organized into trees, involves adding group of branches to selected track from trees including selected track to form track for target for enabling reducing processing resources used to identify track |
| Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for identifying a track for a target are disclosed herein. In a general embodiment, trees for targets are identified. Each tree in the trees includes observations that are connected to each other by branches and each observation has a score. A selected track in a tree is identified within the trees with an observation having a highest score. A group of branches is added to the selected track from other trees other than the tree having the selected track to form the track for a target, enabling reducing processing resources used to identify the track. |
| Use: Method for identifying a track for a target organized into trees. |
| Advantage: The method enables allowing a target tracking system to use multiple hypothesis tracking processes in a manner, thus reducing complexity and processing resources needed to track targets while allowing for tracking targets in real-time or near real-time in real world situations. |
| Novelty: The method involves identifying trees (122, 132) for targets (104, 120), where each tree in the trees includes observations (117, 124, 134) that are connected to each other by branches (126) and each observation includes a score (128). A selected track (108) in one of the trees with the observation including a highest score (136) is identified. A group of branches is added to the selected track from other trees including the selected track to form the track for a target for enabling reducing processing resources used to identify the track. |
