Fusion of remotely sensed data and geographic information for object tracking
Pierre-Olivier Nouguès, Donald E. Brown · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1994
We present an algorithm for tracking remotely sensed objects moving over terrain, using geographic information system information. The proposed model specifically accounts for the influence of the environment (rivers, roads, elevation, etc.) on the propagation of the probability densities. We make a number of assumptions about the motion of targets, but do not assume a priori knowledge of goal locations.
