Unlike existing multiple extended target tracking filters, the GGIW-MD-PMBM filter computes the marginal distribution (MD) and the existence probability of each target, which can shorten the computing time while maintaining good tracking results. The simulation results confirm the validity and reliability of the GGIW-MD-PMBM filter.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20185387","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,20]],"date-time":"2020-09-20T21:20:28Z","timestamp":1600636828000},"page":"5387","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Extended Target Marginal Distribution Poisson Multi-Bernoulli Mixture Filter"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Haocui","family":"Du","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) Key Laboratory, Shenzhen University, Shenzhen 518060, China"}]},{"given":"Weixin","family":"Xie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) Key Laboratory, Shenzhen University, Shenzhen 518060, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Vo, B.N., Mallick, M., Bar-shalom, Y., Coraluppi, S., Osborne, R., Mahler, R., and Vo, B.T.
