  • Abstract
    In this note, we describe an algorithm for correlating measurements from several sensors. This is a problem area in multiple sensor tracking in a dense target environment. It is shown that the correlation problem is similar to the assignment problem in operation research with assignment penalties being equal to the sufficient statistic of the generalized likelihood ratio test.
