Abstract :
The paper compares the performance of two algorithms for data association in target tracking: the multiple hypothesis tracker (MHT) and the two dimensional assignment (2DA) method which follows from the joint maximum likelihood solution. The results are presented in the context of an airborne pulse Doppler radar as a sensor. The MHT (which is computationaly more complex) clearly outperforms the 2DA in the MPRF mode. The improvement in the MPRF mode, however, is minimal for the test cases considered
