Q2. What is the probability of the i-th particle being resampled?
Allowing very low weight particles to contribute to the approximating distribution estimates could add to estimation variance and this could lead to poor state estimates.
Q3. What is the target state vector xk?
The target state vector xk = [xk, ωk]T̄ comprises of planar positions and velocities are given as the last two elements of xk = [xk, yk, ẋx, ẏk]T̄ along with turn rate ωk.
Q4. What is the effect of the resampling method on the state estimation accuracy?
In this paper, the authors described a phenomenon in the systematic resampling method which causes a high tendency of very low weights to be replicated during the resampling stage of a PF method.
Q5. What is the proposed improvement to the SR algorithm?
Given that in PF methods, a particle having very low weight is less likely to contribute (improvement wise) to the estimate of an approximating distribution; the authors then propose that, for a very low weight wik, the authors want to be able to reduce the possibility of the updated uniform number
Q6. What is the definition of a multi-target tracking scenario?
The authors consider a 2-D multiple target tracking (MTT) scenario where a total of four targets are tracked using a nonlinear observation model.
Q7. How do the authors estimate the distribution of a particle?
The authors aim to sequentially estimate the filtering distribution p(xk|z1:k) in a recursive manner by computingp(xk|z1:k) ∝ ∫ p(zk|xk)p(xk|xk−1)p(xk−
Q8. What is the effect of weight-relowering on the SR algorithm?
Un falling within the range (Qi−1, Qi] given the increment term 1N for a large N .To this end, the authors perform a sort of weight-relowering technique where the authors identify very low weights w̃k ⊂ wk and reassign them a much lower value, ρ such that 0 < ρ 1.
Q9. What is the arctan of the target?
The targetoriginated measurements are given by the nonlinear modelzk = [ rk θk ] + vk (10)with rk = ∥∥∥∥[1 0 0 00 1 0 0 ] xk − [ xs ys ]∥∥∥∥ , (11) andθk = arctan ( [0 1 0 0]xk + ys [1 0 0 0]xk + xs ) (12)where the measurement noise, vk is a zero-mean Gaussian white noise vector with covariance matrix R =diag([σ2r , σ2θ ]) with σr = 9m and σθ = 0.45 rad.
