Abstract

Association of observations to underlying targets is a crucial task in probabilistic tracking of multiple targets. The Rao-Blackwellized Monte Carlo Data Association (RBMCDA) framework circumvents the combinatorial explosion by approximating the joint distribution of targets and association variables by Monte Carlo samples in the space of association variables. We present a parametric data association prior distribution required by RBMCDA, which models the formation of observations. To sample from this distribution an efficient algorithm is developed. The Interacting Multiple Models (IMM) filter is integrated into the RBMCDA framework to model the changing dynamics of targets aiming at tracking small particles in microscopy images. The proposed method is evaluated in a proof of concept and evaluated using synthetic data.
