The figure below illustrates one representative problem of this work, track initiation. Observations from five different (equally spaced) time steps are shown on a single image with observations numbered according to their time step. The goal is to take the raw data and find sets of observations that follow a linear motion model. Thus you have to find five observations in order (1-5) that are equally spaced along a line.





The following picture shows 2 of the 3 tracks:
