Two-layer particle filter for multiple target detection and tracking
This paper deals with the detection and tracking of an unknown number of targets using a Bayesian hierarchical model with target labels. To approximate the posterior probability density function, we develop a two-layer particle filter. One deals with track initiation, and the other with track maintenance. In addition, the parallel partition method is proposed to sample the states of the surviving targets

Multitarget Tracking in Nonoverlapping Cameras Using a Reference Set
Tracking multiple targets in nonoverlapping cameras are challenging since the observations of the same targets are often separated by time and space. There might be significant appearance change of a target across camera views caused by variations in illumination conditions, poses, and camera imaging characteristics. Consequently, the same target may appear very different in two cameras. Therefore, associating tracks in different camera views directly based on their appearance similarity is difficult and prone to error. In most previous methods, the appearance similarity is computed either using color histograms or based on pretrained brightness transfer function that maps color between cameras. In this paper, a novel reference set based appearance model is proposed to improve multitarget tracking in a network of nonoverlapping cameras. Contrary to previous work, a reference set is constructed for a pair of cameras, containing subjects appearing in both camera views. For track association, instead of directly comparing the appearance of two targets in different camera views, they are compared indirectly via the reference set. Besides global color histograms, texture and shape features are extracted at different locations of a target, and AdaBoost is used to learn the discriminative power of each feature. The effectiveness of the proposed method over the state of the art on two challenging real-world multicamera video data sets is demonstrated by thorough experiments

Multiperson Tracking by Online Learned Grouping Model With Nonlinear Motion Context
A track-before-detect labelled multi-Bernoulli particle filter with label switching
This paper presents a multitarget tracking particle filter (PF) for general
track-before-detect measurement models. The PF is presented in the random
finite set framework and uses a labelled multi-Bernoulli approximation. We also
present a label switching improvement algorithm based on Markov chain Monte
Carlo that is expected to increase filter performance if targets get in close
proximity for a sufficiently long time. The PF is tested in two challenging
numerical examples.Comment: Accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and
