A test bed for sensor suite and multi sensor tracking algorithms studies

To specify and define a multi-sensor tracking (MST) system, the tasks of sensor suite definition and data fusion concepts and algorithms definition should be performed. Data Fusion Test Bed (DFTB) is designed to model the MST system and to enable simulation of targets and sensors, and implementation of data fusion and sensor management algorithms and their post-execution performance evaluation. DFTB outputs are scenarios, simulated targets and sensor detections (including potential detections), illumination statistics, intermediate data fusion results, final data fusion results and analysis results. These results can be presented in the form of data files, tables, graphics and replay.
