Gaussian mixture probability hypothesis density (GM-PHD) filter is proposed as a closed form solution of PHD filter to estimate the first-order moment of the multi-target posterior density. Recently, different methods such as Competitive GM-PHD (CGM-PHD), Penalized GM-PHD (PGM-PHD) and Collaborative PGM-PHD (CPGM-PHD) are proposed to enhance the performance of GM-PHD filter for tracking closely spaced targets. These methods have no assumption about possible subsequent missed detections which occur in some practical applications. For this reason, the performance of these filters degrades in this condition. In this paper, we propose a novel improvement on GM-PHD filter to track targets in possible subsequent missed detections. In addition to targets weight, we define a probability of confirm (PC) for each target which is adaptively calculated in time. We also propose a new state refinement and state extraction methods based on the defined PC. The experimental results provided for different uncertainties show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
