Visual target tracking problem consists of two topics: Obtaining targets from camera measurements and target tracking. Even though it has been studied for more than 30 years, there are still some problems not completely solved. Especially in the case of multiple targets, association of measurements to targets, creation of new targets and deletion of old ones are among those. What is more, it is very important to deal with the occlusion and crossing targets problems suitably. We believe that a slightly modified version of multiple hypothesis tracking can successfully deal with most of the aforementioned problems with sufficient success. Distance, track size, track color, gate size and track history are used as parameters to evaluate the hypotheses generated for measurement to track association problem whereas size and color are used as parameters for occlusion problem. The overall tracker has been fine tuned over some scenarios and it has been observed that it performs well over the testing scenarios as well. Furthermore the performance of the tracker is analyzed according to those parameters in both association and occlusion handling situations.
