ABSTRACT:
A tri-sensor track association based on ranked candidate pairs and measures of their proximity is described. The track association employs a three dimensional assignment scheme, simple enough to be implemented in real-time, which preserves the most accurate pairwise links of the highest ranked pairs, requires at least two pairwise links for any tri-sensor global track association, and minimizes the time average statistical bearing displacement between associated tracks.
