Accelerating The JPDA Filter on CPU-GPU Platform
Abstract— This paper addresses the computational problem of Joint Probability Data Association (JPDA)
filter in multitarget tracking with dense clutter. A parallelization implementation for JPDA on graphics
processing unit (GPU) platform under the Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) framework is
presented. Where the JPDA filter is resolved into two parts in the view of computation. Specific
parallelization scheme is designed for each part. Simulation results show that with the assistance of GPU,
JPDA achieves up to a 55x speedup than its CPU implementation under dense clutter, while maintains the
same computational accuracy to CPU method.
