Precision tracking of ground targets

The ability of providing an accurate view of a region of interest is standard among existing tracking systems. Extending this capability to work specifically with ground targets presents several interesting challenges. In addition, the goal of our work is to examine the performance at various times in the future. In order to provide this precise representation of the area, we have employed a multiple hypotheses tracking (MHT) algorithm. In this paper, we describe the ground tracking problem and some of the issues that need to be addressed. Furthermore, we give a brief description of the baseline MHT approach and the enhancements to this approach that are required for tracking ground targets. We conclude the paper with some preliminary results.
