Multi-Assignment Interacting Multiple Model for Tracking Microbubbles
Bing Li, Peter C. Tay, Scott T. Acton · 2006
A novel multi-target tracking (MTT) method is developed in this paper, which is specifically designed to track microbubbles in vitro. The microbubbles, which frequently overlap and move erratically, are accurately tracked by a tailored multi-assignment (MA) algorithm combined with the interacting multiple model (IMM) estimator. The superiority of the proposed modified multi-assignment interacting multiple model (MA-IMM) tracking algorithm is demonstrated by way of a comparison to three other approaches
