General multi-object filtering and association measure

Jeremie Houssineau, Pierre Del Moral, Daniel E. Clark

Abstract: This short paper focuses on the structure of the data association problem and details a solution based on the introduction of distinguishability in the representation of a given stochastic population. This approach allows for the derivation of general filtering equations for independent stochastic populations. Based on these general equations, the concept of association measure is defined recursively.
