Target recognition from motion paths

Advances in image and signal processing permit implementation of sophisticated sensor fusion algorithms for tracking and target-identification. The polymorphic estimator employs a dual path architecture to accomplish these tasks simultaneously. It has been observed that there is an identification bias toward more agile targets. This bias can be overcome with higher quality sensors. In some cases more precise modeling of the target motion is an even better solution.
