Estimating and Tracking Multiple Attributes of Multiple Objects from Multi-Sensor Data
First Claim
1. A system for estimating and tracking multiple attributes of multiple objects from multi-sensor data, the system comprising:
- a feature module operable to identify features associated with sensor data, the sensor data representing data captured by at least one of a plurality of sensors;
an object detector operable to determine multiple probable objects based at least in part on the identified features, the determination being made in parallel for the identified features;
a hypothesis generator operable to form hypotheses based at least in part on associating identified features with the multiple probable objects;
a grouping module operable to attribute the formed hypotheses to channels; and
a tracking module operable to construct sequences of the formed hypotheses;
the tracking module being configured to provide the channels and constructed sequences.

Abstract
Systems and methods for estimating and tracking multiple attributes of multiple objects from multi-sensor data are provided. An exemplary method includes identifying features associated with sensor data. The sensor data represents data captured by at least one of a plurality of acoustic and non-acoustic sensors. Identification of the features associated with the sensor data may be based variously on detected sounds, motions, images, and the like. The exemplary method further includes determining, in parallel, multiple probable objects based at least in part on the identified features. Various embodiments of the method also include forming hypotheses based at least in part on associating identified features with the multiple probable objects and attributing the formed hypotheses to channels. Sequence of the formed hypotheses are constructed. The exemplary system includes a tracking module configured to provide the channels and constructed sequences for use in various signal processing, such as signal enhancement.
