Poisson multi-Bernoulli mixture filtering with an active sonar using BELLHOP simulation

This paper examines the use of Poisson multi-Bernoulli mixture (PMBM) filters with realistic signal propagation models for tracking of targets with active sonar systems. In particular, the paper considers application of BELLHOP simulation to model the spatial dependence of the target probability of detection. The intention is to develop practical approaches to the problem of accurately representing sonar propagation within an advanced tracking filter.
