Abstract :
A new group tracking algorithm is developed. The algorithm is capable of initiating groups, accounting for merging or splitting groups, and presenting group centroids dynamic state. Group initiation and merging procedures are based on multiple hypothesis tracking (MHT), and targets deviating from the group are caught by the MHT again. Thus, computational resources are reduced and the performance is improved. Group maintenance under different situations is discussed in detail
