Abstract
This paper considers the challenging task of real time extended object tracking using cluttered measurements from laser range scanners. The performance of the recently proposed Box Particle Filter (Box PF) algorithm is evaluated utilising real measurements from laser range scanners obtained within a prototype security system replicating an airport corridor. The problem is expressed as the joint estimation of both state and parameters of an extended target. Circularly and elliptically shaped targets are considered. Promising results are presented.
