F. Mulder, H. Driessen, F. Rulof, Jitse H. Zwaga · 2003
~In this paper the Multi Sensor Data Fusion Library (MSDFLib) is described. It is afully qualified generic library that is applied for a wide range of products. The library offers advanced algorithms and data structures. It allows one to build multi target, multi sensor tracking systems very eficiently. Innovations of the library are: 1) applicability to any sensor suite, 3) application of multiple model filters 3) an adapted Murty ’s k-best algorithm for sensor data fusion and 4) integrated plot and tmck fusion. The paper first discusses the general characteristics of the MSDFLib, then the properties of the data stmctures and some important functions, followed by the track fusion approach and finally some software engineering issues.
