Abstract :
A scoring scheme based on an object track classification which facilitates performance evaluation for multiple-target tracking systems is derived and applied to specific test cases involving a comparison of operational and modified tracking system performance. The performance measures derived can be applied both to comparative evaluations of tracking system alternatives where relative performance is the issue, and to evaluations of system performance relative to what can be achieved in any given target object environment
