Most conventional tracking gate algorithms only use the targets’ kinematic measurement information, which is typically resulted in great uncertainties of measurement-to-track association for multi-target tracking in clutter. The problem of constructing tracking gates using targets' class information is considered. The proposed algorithm integrates targets' identity information into the traditional tracking gating techniques. First, a class-dependent gate corresponding to each class of targets is developed. Second, the algorithm for constructing the class-dependent gate is given. Simulations are carried out to examine the proposed algorithm, where the simulation scenario shows that the measurement-to-track association using the class-dependent gating algorithm is significantly better than traditional method.
