The simulation results show that the acceleration-based method outperformed the non-acceleration-based method at different levels of acceleration and acquisition frame rates and achieved significant improvement in true positive rate (up to 10. 03%), false negative rate (up to 28. 61%) and correctly pairing fraction (up to 170. 14%).
