Sonar tracking of multiple targets using joint probabilistic data association
TL;DR: A new theoretical result is presented: the joint probabilistic data association (JPDA) algorithm, in which joint posterior association probabilities are computed for multiple targets (or multiple discrete interfering sources) in Poisson clutter.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Multi-target tracking using joint probabilistic data association
TL;DR: New theoretical results are presented on the JPDA algorithm, in which joint posterior probabilities are computed for multiple targets in Poisson clutter, applied to a passive sonar tracking problem wlth multiple sensors and targets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive detection threshold optimization for tracking in clutter
TL;DR: Two adaptive schemes for threshold optimization are proposed, namely prior and posterior optimization algorithms which minimize the mean-square state estimation error over detection thresholds which depend on data up to the previous and current time-step, respectively, suitable for real-time implementation in time-varying systems.

Adaptive Detection Threshold Optimization for Tracking in Clutter
TL;DR: Prior and posterior optimization algorithms which minimize the mean-square estimation error over the signal processor's detection thresholds and which depend on observations up to the previous and current iteration, respectively, are given.
