Multiple sensor fusion for long-range surveillance: design and performance issues
Graeme Jones · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1997
This paper provides a description and detailed review of a multiple hypothesis tracking system, which handles data from two radars, and a number of other sources. An efficient method for processing detections from two (time-offset) radars, and integrating them in the multiple hypothesis framework is described. The implications of such a methodology on the tracking filter also are discussed. The paper then explains the algorithm employed for fusion of automatic dependent surveillance reports into the system, and concludes with a demonstration of some sample results.
