Abstract
An approach for target detection/state estimation that views theproblem as one of a finite state search over the target parameterspace is presented. This approach allows for a natural way toassociate different types of measurements, such as frequency andcoherence from multiple sensors, and also for dealing with multipletargets, dropouts, and clutter. We describe our model and present acomputationally efficient search algorithm for target detection andtarget state estimation in a multitarget environment based on thismodel. The results of a two-sensor, multitarget computer simulationare discussed.Keywords
