Optimal Fusion of Elliptic Extended Target Estimates Based on the Wasserstein Distance
K. Thormann and M. Baum
22nd International Conference on Information Fusion (FUSION 2019), Ottawa, Canada, 2019.
This paper considers the fusion of multiple estimates of a spatially extended object, where the object extent is modeled as an ellipse parameterized by the orientation and semi-axes lengths. For this purpose, we propose a novel systematic approach that employs a distance measure for ellipses, i.e., the Gaussian Wasserstein distance, as a cost function. We derive an explicit approximate expression for the Minimum Mean Gaussian Wasserstein distance (MMGW) estimate. Based on the concept of a MMGW estimator, we develop efficient methods for the fusion of extended target estimates. The proposed fusion methods are evaluated in a simulated experiment and the benefits of the novel methods are discussed.
