Abstract :
We propose a tracking framework jointly estimating the position of a single extended object and the set of radar reflectors that it contains. The reflectors are assumed to lie on a line structure, but the number of reflectors and their positions on the line are unknown. Additionally, we incorporate an accurate radar sensor model considering the resolution capabilities of the sensor. The evaluation of the framework on radar measurements shows promising results.
