This video describes two common problems that arise when tracking multiple objects: data association and track maintenance. We cover a few ways to solve these issues and provide a general way to approach all multi-object tracking problems.We cover data association algorithms like global nearest neighbor (GNN) and joint probabilistic data association (JPDA) and look at the criteria for deleting and creating tracks. We talk about gating observations so that we don’t waste computational resources. At the end of the video, we show an example of GNN and JPDA algorithms operating on two objects in close proximity.
