Tracking before detection using partial orders and optimization

This article addresses the problem of multi-object tracking by using a non-deterministic model of target behaviors with hard constraints. To capture the evolution of target features as well as their locations, we permit objects to lie in a general topological target configuration space, rather than...

Description
Summary:This article addresses the problem of multi-object tracking by using a non-deterministic model of target behaviors with hard constraints. To capture the evolution of target features as well as their locations, we permit objects to lie in a general topological target configuration space, rather than a Euclidean space. We obtain tracker performance bounds based on sample rates, and derive a flexible, agnostic tracking algorithm. We demonstrate our algorithm on two scenarios involving laboratory and field data.
