This paper describes the emergence, the development and the present research situation on the random finite set (RFS) theory in target tracking. The paper summarizes some theoretical points about target tracking based on RFS, including the fundamental theory of RFS, the fundamental theory of probability hypothesis density (PHD) filter, the implementation of PHD filter and the quality assexxment measure of performance for the filter based on RFS. The applications of RFS theory in target tracking are briefly introduced and some comments on PHD filter's developing prospects are proposed.
