A novel refined track initiation algorithm for group targets based on group model (2014)
Journal Article
Gao, F., Ren, H., Wang, J., Hussain, A., & Durrani, T. S. (2014). A novel refined track initiation algorithm for group targets based on group model. Chinese Journal of Electronics, 23(4), 851-856

Traditional refined track initiation methods for group targets have mistakes or loss of tracks when tracking irregular motions, for the reason that they rely on a stable relative position of group members. To solve the problem, a group dynamic model... Read More about A novel refined track initiation algorithm for group targets based on group model.
