The Bernoulli filter is a general, Bayes-optimal solution for tracking a single disappearing and reappearing target, using a single sensor whose observations are corrupted by missed detections and a general, known clutter process. Like virtually all target-tracking algorithms it presumes a hidden Markov model (HMM) structure on the sensor and target. Pieczynski's pairwise Markov model (PMM) relaxes this assumption, thereby addressing correlated sensor noise and non-Markovian target motion. In an earlier paper, we derived a “PMM Bernoulli filter” that obeys PMM rather than restrictive HMM sensor/target statistics. This paper generalizes both the HMM and PMM Bernoulli filters to the case of multiple, possibly correlated sensors, resulting in a general, Bayes-optimal single-target tracker for complexly correlated sensors. |
