In this paper, we have investigated the effects of geographic information on the performance of multiple ground target tracking system using multiple sensors. Geographic information is utilized in two cases: association and masking target measurement. Virtually no improvement is observed to the overall performance of tracking system when we applied mobility to the association procedure. Masking target measurement based on mobility produces desirable result that the number of false tracks is reduced. Since geographic information can be regarded as an additional sensor in sensor fusion paradigm, careful usage is required.
