Abstract
Joint Probabilistic Data Association has proven to be effective in tracking multiple targets from measurements amidst clutter and missed detections. But the traditional Joint Probabilistic Data Association algorithm will cause track coalescence when the targets are parallel neighboring or small-angle crossing. To avoid track coalescence, a modified Joint Probabilistic Data Association algorithm is proposed in this paper. An exclusive measurement is defined for every target in the new algorithm. The exclusive measurement of a target is one measurement which associates with the target and has the maximum associated probability. The associated events of the exclusive measurement with other targets will be pruned, which resists two or more targets share the same measurement as a key measurement and avoids track coalescence. The simulation results show that the new algorithm can effectively solve track coalescence problem in all kinds of scenarios and keep a high tracking performance.
