Abstract :
The problem of multiple-target tracking using data from multiple sensors has received a lot of attention. This paper provides a new practical technique for multisensor track-to-track association on a one-to-one correspondence basis which combines sensor-level tracks into a central track file. This paper also includes computer simulation results that show this method is a significant improvement over the well-known method based on the use of chi-square properties
