Learning Latent Fields in Multiobject Tracking

arXiv:2610.38898v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Multiobject tracking using measurements from arrays of wireless sensors is a key task in applications ranging from autonomous navigation to public safety. Many existing methods compress raw complex-valued signals into detections or intensity maps during preprocessing, thereby discarding potentially relevant information about the objects and the propagation environment. We propose a Bayesian framework for multiobject tracking that relates object states to raw complex-valued signals via a physics-based superpositional model. The model combines a physics-based array manifold, such as radar steering vectors or the replica vectors of matched-field processing, with a latent field. This latent field is a family of context-dependent signal-power distributions that captures the effects of the objects and the propagation environment and is shared across objects and time. It is parameterized by a conditional normalizing flow, which is trained during runtime without labeled data by maximizing an evidence lower bound (ELBO) derived from the Bayesian model. Learning and inference are thus coupled in a sequential framework. We evaluate the method in simulation and in real-world radio and acoustic experiments, with spatial scales ranging from meters to kilometers, and show that it outperforms detection-based methods.
