Published: October 2019

In this paper, we introduce a tracking algorithm based on labeled Random Finite Sets (RFS) and Rauch-Tung-Striebel (RTS) smoother via a Generalized Labeled Multi-Bernoulli (GLMB) multi-scan estimator to track multiple objects in a wide range of tracking scenarios. In the forward filtering stage, we use the GLMB filter to generate a set of labels and the association history between labels and the measurements. In the trajectory-estimating stage, we apply a track management strategy to eliminate tracks with short lifespan compared to a threshold value. Subsequently, we apply the information of trajectories captured from the forward GLMB filtering stage to carry out standard forward filtering and RTS backward smoothing on each estimated trajectory. For the experiment, we implement the tracker with standard GLMB filter, the hybrid track-before-detect (TBD) GLMB filter, and the GLMB filter with objects spawning. The results show improvements in tracking performance for all implemented trackers given negligible extra computational effort compared to standard GLMB filters.

Super-resolution ultrasound (SRUS) can image the vasculature at microscopic resolution according to microbubble (MB) localization, with velocity vector maps obtained based on MB tracking information. High MB concentrations can reduce the acquisition time of SRUS imaging, however adjacent and intersecting vessels are difficult to distinguish, thus decreasing resolution. Low acquisition frame rates affect the precision of flow velocity estimation.

Purpose: Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) represents the predominant aggressive primary tumor of the brain with short overall survival (OS) time. We aim to assess the potential of radiomic features in predicting the time-to-event OS of patients with GBM using machine learning (ML) algorithms.

Materials And Methods: One hundred nineteen patients with GBM, who had T1-weighted contrast-enhanced and T2-FLAIR MRI sequences, along with clinical data and survival time, were enrolled.

This paper proposes a new solution to multi-target joint detection, tracking and classification based on labeled random finite set (RFS) and belief function theory. A class dependent multi-model marginal generalized labeled multi-Bernoulli (MGLMB) filter is developed to analytically calculate the multi-target number, state estimates and model probabilities. In addition, a two-level classifier based on continuous transferable belief model (cTBM) is designed for target classification.

In the field of resolvable group target tracking, further study on the structure and formation of group targets is helpful to reduce the tracking error of group bluetargets. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to detect whether the structure or formation state of group targets changes. In this paper, a Gibbs Generalized Labeled Multi-Bernoulli (GLMB) filter is used to obtain the estimation of discernible group target bluestates.

One of the core challenges in visual multi-target tracking is occlusion. This is especially important in applications such as video surveillance and sports analytics. While offline batch processing algorithms can utilise future measurements to handle occlusion effectively, online algorithms have to rely on current and past measurements only.
