Track before detect TBD is a paradigm which combines target detection and estimation by removing the detection algorithm and supplying the sensor data directly to the tracker. Various different approaches exist for tackling the TBD problem. This article compares the ability of several different approaches to detect low amplitude targets. The following algorithms are considered in this comparison Bayesian estimation over a discrete grid dynamic programming particle filtering methods and the histogram probabilistic multihypothesis tracker. Algorithms are compared on the basis of detection performance and computation resource requirements. Copyright 2008 Samuel J. Davey et al.

INTRODUCTION Traditional tracking algorithms are designed assuming that the sensor provides a set of point measurements at each scan. The tracking algorithm links measurements across time and estimates parameters of interest. However a practical sensor may provide a data image where each pixel corresponds to the received power in a .
