Abstract

The data association problem is important in the process of building up multiple sensors system for detection of target and trajectories. In this chapter, we research a multisensor data association approach that uses the polar Hough transform (PHT). After every one radar scan the system associate data in global range-azimuth co-ordinate system and apply polar Hough transform. The advantage of the proposed approach is the data unification in a net of asynchronously working radars with different accuracy characteristics and each radar varied observation-sampling period. The study is performed through Monte-Carlo simulations in MATLAB computing environment.
