An approximate partition algorithm of measurement sets is proposed to overcome the problem that it is impossible to implement all the possible partitions of a measurement set in density filters with extended object probability hypothesis
and the algorithm bases on a finite mixture model. The finite mixture model is used to fit the measurement set and then the partition of the measurement set is implemented. The expectation maximization algorithm is employed to obtain the maximum likelihood estimation of mixture parameters. Then
the conditional probability of the measurement source is applied in partitioning the measurement set. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is superior to typical partition algorithm of measurement sets in extended object tracking.
