A model for graceful degradation of tracking systems
Trond Jorgensen, James R. McCombs · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 2009
Any implementation of a real-time tracking system is subject to capacity constraints in terms of how many measurements or tracks that can be processed per unit time. This paper addresses the problem of selecting which measurements or tracks should be discarded to maximize the expected number of targets of interest being both tracked and correctly associated with remote datasets. In particular, the problem is addressed when only a single dataset is available.
