Comparison of Fusion Methods for Successive Declarations of Radar Range Pro les
Tanja Bieker · 2006
Classification of high-range-resolution profiles is a viable method of non-cooperative target identification. In order to increase the reliability and robustness of the classification result, methods of decision-level identity fusion can be applied. Different approaches have been used for a cumulative fusion of declarations of successively recorded radar range profiles. Besides probabilistic techniques such as the Bayesian fusion, non-probabilistic methods based on Dempster-Shafer or voting algorithms have come into focus. In this paper these different approaches are compared for typical situations which can arise in aircraft identification scenarios
