PACT: Possibilistic Approach to Correlation and Tracking
I. R. Goodman · Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) · 1982
A procedure is presented in this paper for treating the nongeolocational aspects of multi target correlation and tracking based on the well developed calculi of possibility theory and certain new theoretical considerations. More generally, it is shown that a combination of possibilistic and probabilistic techniques leads to both a feasible and optimal parameter estimation algorithm. The technique incorporates observed data, error distributions or equivalently, matching tables for attribute outcome values and inference rules connecting attribute matching intensities with consequent correlation levels.
