Measurement Correlation for Multiple Sensor Tracking in a Dense Target Environment.
Abstract
In this report, we describe an algorithm for correlating measurements from several sensors. This is problem area in multiple sensor tracking in a dense target environment. It is shown that the correlation problem is similar to the assignment problem in operation research with assignment penalties being equal to the sufficient statistic of the generalized likelihood ratio test. An example is given to illustrate the correlation performance for two optical sensors tracking ballistic trajectories. (Author)
