In this paper, the random hypersurface model (RHM) is introduced for estimating a shape approximation of an extended object in addition to its kinematic state, where the shape parameters and measurements are related via a measurement equation that serves as the basis for a Gaussian state estimator.
Abstract
The random hypersurface model (RHM) is introduced for estimating a shape approximation of an extended object in addition to its kinematic state. An RHM represents the spatial extent by means of randomly scaled versions of the shape boundary. In doing so, the shape parameters and the measurements are related via a measurement equation that serves as the basis for a Gaussian state estimator. Specific estimators are derived for elliptic and star-convex shapes.

Recursive Bayesian filtering in circular state spaces

TL;DR: This work introduces a general framework for estimation of a circular state based on different circular distributions, specifically the wrapped normal (WN) distribution and the von Mises distribution, and proposes an estimation method for circular systems with nonlinear system and measurement functions.

Multiple extended object tracking using Gaussian processes

TL;DR: The ability of Gaussian processes to estimate and represent a wide range of free-from shapes is combined with a principled approach to the multiple extended objects tracking problem and a new, approximately axis-symmetric covariance function is additionally introduced.

Joint Probabilistic Data Association Tracker for Extended Target Tracking Applied to X-Band Marine Radar Data

TL;DR: This paper proposes a signal processing chain composed by a detector and a joint probabilistic data association (JPDA) tracker to handle the problem of multiple ETT and to jointly estimate both the targets' kinematics and their sizes, i.e., length and width.

Tracking of Extended Objects and Group Targets Using Random Matrices

TL;DR: In this article, the problem of maintaining a track for an extended object or group target with varying number of detections was analyzed and discussed, and a new approach was derived that is expected to overcome some of the weaknesses the mentioned Bayesian approach suffers from in certain applications.

TL;DR: The authors formulate the visual motion estimation problem in terms of identification of nonlinear implicit systems with parameters on a topological manifold and propose a dynamic solution either in the local coordinates or in the embedding space of the parameter manifold.

Spatial distribution model for tracking extended objects

TL;DR: In this paper, a Bayesian filter was developed for tracking an extended object in clutter based on two simple axioms: (i) the number of received target and clutter measurements in a frame are Poisson distributed (so several measurements may originate from the target) and (ii) target extent is modelled by a spatial probability distribution and each targetrelated measurement is an independent 'random draw' from this spatial distribution (convolved with a sensor model).
