Abstract:

The key algorithms and techniques involved in an actual multiple-radar multiple-platform plot data fusion system are presented in detail. The main content focuses on the integrative design problem of combining theoretical algorithms and actual demands in practical engineering, which includes design rules of radar registration and data association, the weight calculating method in estimation fusion under complex environment, coordinate system selection and so on. Meanwhile, the whole configuration and main models of the system simulation are also presented. Simulation and validation results with radar data show that the performances of both fusion and tracking are good, and the design rules and methods are particularly valid for an advanced multiple-radar multiple-platform data fusion system.
