To solve this problem, a multi-layer track fusion algorithm based on supporting degree matrix is proposed. Combined with the track fusion algorithm based on filtering step by step, it uses multi-sensor observations to establish supporting degree matrix and realize multi-layer fusion. Simulation results show its estimation precision is higher than the original algorithm and is increased by 20% around.

So the corresponding fusion algorithm results in bad performance. A new error analysis method for two passive sensor tracking system is presented and the error equations are deduced in detail.

With the error equations, we present multiple 'two station'fusion algorithm using adaptive pseudo measurement equations. This greatly enhances the tracking performance and makes the algorithm convergent very fast and not sensitive to initial conditions.Simulation results prove the correctness of our new algorithm.展开更多
