多目标跟踪数据关联方法综述

Summary of Data Association Methods In Multi-target Tracking

本文首先介绍了目标跟踪的基本概念和原理,并对在此过程中最重要的数据关联进行了论述;再对经典的数据关联方法进行了分析与总结,指出了经典的数据关联方法的基本特征;并对近几年受到广泛关注的"多对一"问题、以及实际应用中基于特征的数据关联进行了总结。最后,基于数据关联的研究现状,提出了需要进一步研究的若干问题。

Firstly, the basic concept, principle of target tracking are introduced, and the importance of data association is analyzed; Secondly, the classical data association methods are summarized and the basic feature of those methods are presented; For tracking a target when more than one target originated measurement may exist within the validation gate, the many-to-one measurement set-to-track association methods are summarized,as well methods based on features. Finally, the future study problems of development of data association methods are presented.
