Abstract

This paper presents an extended target tracking method to track trains using Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) data. The problem is approached using a measurement likelihood based on a Set of Points on a Rigid Body (SPRB) model applied to a clustered version of the Poisson Multi-Bernoulli Mixture filter. The method efficiently handles asymmetric noise within the set of measurements returned by each train, and proposes a solution to merged measurements appearing at crossings. We use experimental data obtained from trains to show that the proposed algorithm has lower localisation and false target error, leading to better performance in terms generalized optimal sub-pattern assignment (GOSPA) metric.
