Multi-sensor tracking techniques

The proposed effort represents an extensive expansion of a predictive tracking technique that accurately tracks and predicts target movement for ground mobile targets and has been successfully demonstrated. The current set of algorithms for predictive tracking is confined to two-dimensional space and a network of sensors; the expansion is to three dimensions for sensor networks. In addition, the effort proposes a method that addresses both temporal and spatial registration as well as applying successfully completed results from other efforts where data is in one format for any given sensor to a common format that can be used by any other sensor to allow received information to be translated into its format or for use by any sensor or a command center within the network. This capability allows information to be communicated to any node in a sensor network. The completion of the effort will show how latency issues are overcome.
