Abstract:
This document describes systems and techniques for clustering track pairs for multi-sensor track association. Many track-association algorithms use pattern-matching processes that can be computationally complex. Clustering tracks derived from different sensors present on a vehicle may reduce the computational complexity by reducing the pattern-matching problem into groups of subproblems. The weakest connection between two sets of tracks is identified based on both the perspective from each track derived from a first sensor and the perspective of each track derived from a second sensor. By identifying and pruning the weakest connection between two sets of tracks, a large cluster of tracks may be split into smaller clusters. The smaller clusters may require fewer computations by limiting the quantity of candidate track pairs to be evaluated. Fewer computations result in processing the sensor information more efficiently that, in turn, may increase the safety and reliability of an automobile.
