Some Performance Results for Recursive Multitarget Correlator-Tracker Algorithms.

Abstract

A certain relatively simple type of recursive multitarget correlation and tracking algorithm is developed for the case of position-only target reports. Several aspects of its performance are tested numerically on simulated data resembling ship tracking situations of various target densities. Some simplifications of this procedure are also tested in this way to assess the relative contributions of several implementation concepts in this context. (Author)
