An adaptive tracking algorithm based on Extended target Probability Hypothesis Density (ETPHD) filter is proposed for extended target tracking problem with priori unknown target birth intensity.The algorithm is implemented by gaussian mixture, where the target birth intensity is generated by measurement-driven, and the persistent and the newborn targets intensity are respectively predicted and updated. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm improves the performance of the probability hypothesis density filter in the extended target tracking.

For the problems that Gamma Gaussian Inverse Wishart Cardinalized Probability Hypothesis Density (GGIW-CPHD) filter cannot accurately estimate the extended target shape and has a bad tracking performance under the condition of low SNR, a new generalized labeled multi-Bernoulli algorithm based on Gaussian process regression is proposed. The algorithm adopts the star convex to model the extended target, and realizes the online learning of the Gaussian process by constructing the state space model to complete the estimation of the extended target shape. At the same time, in the low SNR environment, the target motion state is tracked by the good tracking performance of the generalized label Bernoulli filter. Simulation results show that for any target with unknown shape, the proposed algorithm can well offer its extended shape and in the low SNR environment it can greatly improve the accuracy and stability of target tracking.
