Abstract :
This paper uses an image sensor and a 3D radar to track maneuvering targets. The usage of the image sensor is two-fold. First, it is used to perform maneuver detection using minimum computation and storage. Second, its bearing and elevation measurements are used along with 3D radar observations to improve the tracking quality. The advantages of the proposed multisensor tracking system are discussed and demonstrated via simulations.
