We propose a scalable track-before-detect (TBD) tracking method based on a Poisson/multi-Bernoulli model. To limit computational complexity, we approximate the exact multi-Bernoulli mixture posterior probability density function (pdf) by a multi-Bernoulli pdf. Data association based on the sum-product algorithm and recycling of Bernoulli components enable the detection and tracking of low-observable objects with limited computational resources. Our simulation results demonstrate a significantly improved tracking performance compared to a state-of-the-art TBD method.

Precise localization and tracking of moving non-collaborative persons and objects using a network of ultra-wideband (UWB) radar nodes has been shown to represent a practical and effective approach. In UWB radar sensor networks (RSNs), existence of strong clutter, weak target echoes, and closely spaced targets are obstacles to achieving a satisfactory tracking performance. Using a track-before-detect (TBD) approach, the waveform obtained by each node during a time period are jointly processed. Both spatial information and temporal relationship between measurements are exploited in generating all possible candidate trajectories and only the best trajectories are selected as the outcome. The effectiveness of the developed TBD technique for UWB RSNs is confirmed by numerical simulations and by two experimental results, both carried out with actual UWB signals. In the first experiment, a human target is tracked by a monostatic radar network with an average localization error of 41.9 cm with no false alarm trajectory in a cluttered outdoor environment. In the second experiment, two targets are detected by multistatic radar network with localization errors of 25.4 cm and 19.7 cm, and detection rate of the two targets is 88.75%, and no false alarm trajectory.
Earth Trojan Asteroids are an important but elusive population that co-orbit with Earth at the L4 and L5 Lagrange points. There is only one known, but a large population is theoretically stable and could provide insight into our solar systems past and present as well as planetary defense. In this paper, we present the results of an Earth Trojan survey that uses a novel shift-and-stack detection method on two nights of data from the Dark Energy Camera. We find no new Earth Trojan Asteroids. We calculate an upper limit on the population that is consistent with previous searches despite much less sky coverage. Additionally, we elaborate on previous upper limit calculations using current asteroid population statistics and an extensive asteroid simulation to provide the most up to date population constraints. We find an L4 Earth Trojan population of NET < 1 for H = 13.93, NET < 7 for H = 16, and NET < 938 for H = 22.
This paper presents a novel algorithm to incorporate orbital parameters into radar ambiguity function expressions by extending the standard ambiguity function to match Keplerian two-body orbits. A coherent orbital matched-filter will maximise a radars sensitivity to objects in orbit, as well as provide rapid initial orbit determination from a single detection. This paper then shows how uncued detection searches can be practically achieved by incorporating radar parameters into the orbital search-space, especially for circular orbits. Simulated results are compared to results obtained from ephemeris data, showing that the orbital path determined by the proposed method, and the associated radar parameters that would be observed, match those derived from the ephemeris data.
Most online multi-object trackers perform object detection stand-alone in a neural net without any input from tracking. In this paper, we present a new online joint detection and tracking model, TraDeS (TRAck to DEtect and Segment), exploiting tracking clues to assist detection end-to-end. TraDeS infers object tracking offset by a cost volume, which is used to propagate previous object features for improving current object detection and segmentation. Effectiveness and superiority of TraDeS are shown on 4 datasets, including MOT (2D tracking), nuScenes (3D tracking), MOTS and Youtube-VIS (instance segmentation tracking).

Urban intersections put high demands on fully automated vehicles, in particular, if occlusion occurs. In order to resolve such and support vehicles in unclear situations, a popular approach is the utilization of additional information from infrastructure-based sensing systems. However, a widespread use of such systems is circumvented by their complexity and thus, high costs. Within this paper, a generic interface is proposed, which enables a huge variety of sensors to be connected. The sensors are only required to measure very few features of the objects, if multiple distributed sensors with different viewing directions are available. Furthermore, a Labeled Multi-Bernoulli (LMB) filter is presented, which can not only handle such measurements, but also infers missing object information about the objects extents. The approach is evaluated on simulations and demonstrated on a real-world infrastructure setup.
