The spatial density of false measurements is known as clutter density in signal and data processing of targets. It is unknown in practice and its knowledge has a significant impact on the effective processing of target information. This paper presents in the first time a number of theoretically solid estimators for clutter density based on conditional mean, maximum likelihood, and method of moments, respectively. They are computationally highly efficient and require no knowledge of the probability distribution of the clutter density. They can be readily incorporated into a variety of trackers for performance improvement. Simulation verification of the superiority of the proposed estimators to the previously used heuristic ones is also provided
