Abstract :
The formal descriptions of data association and target-tracking algorithms are forbiddingly formidable for non-expert eyes. Evaluating performance of tracking systems commercially proposed, based on only mathematics, requires the work of several full-time experts. It is still doubtful if the supplier is really implementing what the formulae describe. A subjective evaluation based on benchmark scenarios is seen to be meaningful for nontechnical decision-makers.
