For improving the performance of the optimal assignment problem of data correlation of multi-passive-sensor system, an improved optimal assignment algorithm based on multi-source information fusion is put forward. The new algorithm takes advantage of the optimal solution and a certain number of near-optimal solutions of the traditional optimal assignment problem to construct a set of effective multi-tuple of measurement and constructs correlation probability fusing multi-source information between above effective multi-tuple of measurement and target track by using combination rule of D-S evidence theory. The result of simulation experiments shows that, compared with the traditional optimal assignment algorithm, the new algorithm not only improves the accuracy of multi-target tracking in different degrees but also saves a lot of time. So it is an effective data correlation algorithm for multi-passive-sensor system.
