Design ofanA-SMGCSprototype atBarajas airport: Airport surveillance sensorsbiasestimation*
Andrés Soto, Javier Portillo · 2005
Thispaperdescribes thedesign and implementation ofa biasestimation system forairport surveillance. Ifnotcorrectly calibrated, systematic errors mayleadtotrack instability, andeventotrack splitting. Airport safety demands forverystable andaccurate tracking, andsoaddressing this problem ismandatory ifa data fusion system istobeusedinoperational procedures. Thepaper describes thedesign ofaninnovative sensor bias estimation system, andthepractical issues related withits integration inthedataprocessing chain. Thesimulation based results showestimators rapid convergence, andhow theinclusion ofthese methods improves overall tracking performance.
