Jekyll2026-02-14T09:19:38-06:00https://mtt.edu.hendeby.se/feed.xmlCourse: Target TrackingThe Target Tracking course (2-9 ETCS credits) teaches the basics in multi-target tracking, from classic tracking filter and classic tracking methods such as the multi-hypothesis tracker (MHT) and joint probability data association (JPDA) filter, as well as more modern random finite set (RFS) methods.Exam Information and Availability2026-01-08T00:00:00-06:002026-01-08T00:00:00-06:00https://mtt.edu.hendeby.se/2026/01/08/exam-infoI have now finalized the exam for the course, hence you are allowed to attempt it when it suits you from now and to the end of January.

If you wish to take the exam, please send me an email such that we can schedule a timeslot.

Please allocate two hours to complete the exam. (Previously, I indicated one hour. One hour should still be sufficient, but I decided to allow an extra hour so you do not feel stressed. I hope this works well for everyone.)

To emphasize the intention of the exam, here are the instructions provided in the exam:

This exam is designed to assess your conceptual understanding of key topics from the Target Tracking course. It is intended as a pen-and-paper exercise, without the use of the internet, books, or other external resources. The hands-on exercises in the course focus on practical implementation and applying theory; this exam emphasizes reasoning and clarity. Answers should be concise, typically no more than a few sentences per question.

Full credit will be awarded for answers that demonstrate a solid understanding of the problems and their solutions. To pass, you must achieve at least two-thirds of the points in each category. Submit your answers in a sealed envelope to Gustaf Hendeby within two hours of receiving the exam. This time frame should be more than sufficient, reflecting the intended ambition level for your responses.

Good luck!!!

Please note that Lecture 8 on Tuesday, December 16, will be held in I:102, in the I building, and that the lecture is scheduled for three hours, 9 to 12.

On Thursday, I will dedicate the session to some mixed topics and postpone the RFS content to a later date. I plan to schedule a 3-hour session in December and will propose a time on Thursday.

I hope this plan works for everyone.

Note, Lecture 5 will be given in Systemet, not Visionen, and the order of Lecture 6-8 might change in order to facilitate the guest lecture.

It is strongly recommended to solve the exercises during the course, typically before the next lecture, in order to get exerience of the methods covered before moving on to the next step.

Furthermore, the aim is to have the last lecture before Christmas. The exam will then be offered during January 2026.

We could jointly decide to change these dates, eg, if the lecture series drags out more in time than planned.

Good Luck!

The slides I plan to use are already available on the course homepage if you’d like a sneak peek.

Scheduling these courses is always a challenge due to conflicting calendars, so I’d like to take some time tomorrow to agree on the timing for upcoming lectures. Please remember to bring your calendars to help with scheduling. (I’ve included some suggestions in the slides, but we’ll likely need to adjust based on availability.)

See you tomorrow!

]]>Welcome to the 2025 graduate course in Target Tracking2025-09-01T00:00:00-05:002025-09-01T00:00:00-05:00https://mtt.edu.hendeby.se/2025/09/01/WelcomeIt is finally time for the 2025 edition of the graduate course in Target Tracking. We start off with the first lecture on September 16 at 15:15 in the Large conference room in Visionen.

During the lecture September 16 I will go through the practicalities of the course. As part of this, we will discuss the scheduling of the remaining lectures. The plan is to run the course at half speed, with a lecture roughly every second week, and finish sometime before Christmas. Furthermore, I will introduce the multi-target tracking problem.

Directly following this lecture, for those that are interested, I will give a presentation on “Estimation in Information Fusion”, which I presented earlier this year at the FUSION 2025 Bootcamp. The presentation will provide a brush-up on the preliminaries for this course.

If you have not checked out our course homepage yet, do so now:

It contains all information that you need to know about the course. Note, not all details are set yet, and the details will evolve a bit during the course as we move along.

If this sounds interesting, please send me an email and let me know you want to attend the course. This will ensure you receive any important future information.

We hope to see as many of you as possible in person on in two weeks!

/Gustaf
