Grm-156-153 Finding Top-K Assignments For Multi-Hypothesis Tracking, Tyler Hood, Rakshak Gurung Apr 2026

Grm-156-153 Finding Top-K Assignments For Multi-Hypothesis Tracking, Tyler Hood, Rakshak Gurung

C-Day Computing Showcase

Multi-Hypothesis Tracking (MHT) is a framework for solving the data association problem in multi-target tracking by maintaining multiple possible assignments between observations and targets over time. Rather than committing to a single solution, MHT explores a set of competing hypotheses, allowing it to handle noise, missed detections, and ambiguous measurements. In practical systems such as radar, LiDAR, and vision-based tracking, MHT is commonly implemented using algorithms like Murty’s algorithm to generate multiple high-quality assignment solutions from the Hungarian algorithm. In this work, we instead propose an assignment-tree-based approach, where hypotheses are incrementally constructed and prioritized using a structured search strategy. …
