A Clutter-Agnostic Generalized Labeled Multi-Bernoulli Filter

The labeled random finite set (LRFS) theory of B.-T. Vo and B.-N. Vo is the first systematic, theoretically rigorous formulation of true multitarget tracking, and is the basis for the generalized labeled multi-Bernoulli (GLMB) filter (the first implementable and provably Bayes-optimal multitarget tracking algorithm). Like most multitarget trackers, the GLMB filter is based on the assumption that clutter statistics are known a priori. Recent research has introduced RFS filters that are "clutter-agnostic," in the sense that they can address unknown, dynamically evolving clutter. These filters were unlabeled, however. In this paper we devise a clutter-agnostic GLMB (CA-GLMB) filter, based on the Bernoulli clutter-generator concept.
