- Authors: Stephanie Tsuei, Wenjie Mo, Stefano Soatto
- Abstract summary: It is customary to assume that the errors in feature track positions are zero-mean Gaussian.
Using a combination of calibrated camera intrinsics, ground-truth camera pose, and depth images, it is possible to compute ground-truth positions for feature tracks extracted using an image processing algorithm.

- Abstract: In state estimation algorithms that use feature tracks as input, it is
customary to assume that the errors in feature track positions are zero-mean
Gaussian. Using a combination of calibrated camera intrinsics, ground-truth
camera pose, and depth images, it is possible to compute ground-truth positions
for feature tracks extracted using an image processing algorithm. We find that
feature track errors are not zero-mean Gaussian and that the distribution of
errors is conditional on the type of motion, the speed of motion, and the image
processing algorithm used to extract the tracks.

We address object tracking by radar and the robustness of the current state-of-the-art methods to process outliers.
We take the Gaussian Sum Filter as our baseline and propose a modification by modelling process noise with a distribution that has heavier tails than a Gaussian.
Our simulations show that - in the presence of process outliers - the robust tracker outperforms the Gaussian Sum filter when tracking single objects.

Relative trajectories of a sample, a detector, and a signal source are traditionally considered to be known.

The proposed algorithm divides the object into discrete image patches according to the pixel distribution of the object by means of clustering.
To avoid the drifting of the tracker to false targets, the proposed algorithm extracts the dominant features, such as color histogram or histogram of gradient orientation, from these image patches.
The proposed algorithm incorporates these components into the particle filter framework, which results in a robust and precise tracker.
