Multiple Target Tracking and Identity Management

• Multi-target Tracking

  • Target state estimation: minimizing the uncertainty

  • Track more targets with fewer sensors (e.g. 1 sensor vs. 3 targets)

  • UAV application: guidance law based on state estimates

• Identity Management

  • Identify the targets (which estimates belongs to which target)

  • Automated algorithm utilizing dynamic information/sensor observation

• Multi-target Tracking and Identity Management (MTIM)

  • Combined algorithm that does multi-target tracking and identity management simultaneously
