Lecture title: “Advances in Multi-Target Tracking”.

Abstract: The multi-target tracking (MTT) literature includes many problem variations, solution methodologies, and performance metrics. This talk identifies some foundational elements of the MTT problem, with the goal of providing an accessible introduction while illustrating interesting aspects and challenges. We focus on the maximum a posteriori (MAP) criterion and the multiple-hypothesis tracking (MHT) solution paradigm. We address some concerns that have been raised in the literature regarding MHT and discuss recent advances and applications, including distributed MHT and graph-based methods to improve tractability in challenging disparate-sensor settings.
