On the Convergence of Belief Propagation for Multipath Data Association in Target Tracking
Kuilong Yang, Zengfu Wang, Hua Lan, Jing Fu
Belief propagation (BP) is widely used for data association (DA) in target tracking. Existing convergence analyses of BP for DA address only the two-way correspondence between targets and measurements, where each target generates at most one measurement per scan. Multipath DA (MP…
