  • Patent number: 7193557
    Abstract: Tracking objects by receiving a dataframe from a detection sensor device, the dataframe containing a timestamp and data corresponding to each detected object, generating new observation nodes for each detected object, propagating group track state parameters to obtain posterior observable positions and projecting them onto the received dataframe, generating gates for the posterior observable positions and projecting them onto the received dataframe, determining feasible track node and feasible observation node assignments based on the proximity of the new observation nodes to the gates, updating track node state parameters and corresponding scores, performing a multi-frame resolution algorithm to resolve group track nodes into subtrack nodes, determining a set of feasible composite assignments for composite sets of track nodes and observation nodes, updating track node state parameters and corresponding scores, and determining a selected set of joint assignments based on the feasible composite assignments and
