Common data preprocessing routines often introduce considerable flaws in laser-based tracking of extended objects. As an alternative, extended target tracking methods, such as the Gamma-Gaussian-Inverse Wishart (GGIW) probability hypothesis density (PHD) filter, work directly on raw data. In this paper, the GGIW-PHD filter is applied to real world traffic scenarios. To cope with the large amount of data, a mixture clustering approach which reduces the combinatorial complexity and computation time is proposed. The effective segmentation of raw measurements with respect to spatial distribution and motion is demonstrated and evaluated on two different applications: pedestrian tracking from a vehicle and intersection surveillance.
