Uniform sampling for multiple target tracking
Mark R. Morelande, Alan Zhang · 2014
Abstract—A major problem in the application of particle filters to multiple target tracking is the loss of modes due to sample degeneracy. A particle filter based on the notion of uniform sampling is developed to address this issue. The proposed particle filter approximates uniform sampling in an auxiliary variable framework. Simulation results show that the proposed method provides significantly improved mode retention compared to a particle filter using the optimal importance density.
