In this paper, multiple resolvable group target tracking was considered in the frame of random finite sets. In particular, a group target model was introduced by combining graph theory with the labeled random finite sets (RFS). This accounted for dependence between group members. Simulations were presented to verify the proposed algorithm.

In the field of resolvable group target tracking, further study on the structure and formation of group targets is helpful to reduce the tracking error of group bluetargets. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to detect whether the structure or formation state of group targets changes. In this paper, a Gibbs Generalized Labeled Multi-Bernoulli (GLMB) filter is used to obtain the estimation of discernible group target bluestates. After obtaining the state estimation of the group target, we extract relevant information based on the estimation data to judge whether the structure or formation state has changed. Finally, several experiments are carried out to verify the algorithm.

As target splitting is not considered in the initial development of δ-generalized labeled multi-Bernoulli (δ-GLMB) filter, the scenarios where the new targets appearing conditioned on the preexisting one are not readily addressed by this filter. In view of this, we model the group target as gamma Gaussian inverse Wishart (GGIW) distribution and derive a δ-GLMB filter based on the group splitting model, in which the target splitting event is investigated. Two simplifications of the approach are presented to improve the computing efficiency, where with splitting detection, we need not to predict the splitting events of all the GGIW components in every iteration. With component combination applied in adaptive birth, a redundant modeling for a newborn target or preexisting target could be avoided. Moreover, a method for labeling performance evaluation of the algorithm is provided. Simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Yzerbyt, Rogier and Fiske (1998) argued that perceivers confronted with a group high in entitativity (i.e., a group perceived as an entity, a tight-knit group) more readily call upon an underlying essence to explain people's behavior than perceivers confronted with an aggregate. Their study showed that group entitativity promoted dispositional attributions for the behavior of group members. Moreover, stereotypes emerged when people faced entitative groups. In this study, we replicate and extend these results by providing further evidence that the process of social attribution is responsible for the emergence of stereotypes. We use the attitude attribution paradigm ( Jones & Harris, 1967 ) and show that the correspondence bias is stronger for an entitative group target than for an aggregate. Besides, several dependent measures indicate that the target's group membership stands as a plausible causal factor to account for members' behavior, a process we call Social Attribution. Implications for current theories of stereotyping are discussed.
