Abstract

A generalised registration technique based on mixed-mode measurements from two or more spatially distributed sensors is presented. The algorithm outputs include maximum likelihood estimates of (i) registration parameters, (ii) registered sensor measurements and (iii) registered target location estimates expressed in a common coordinate system. Numerical results are presented for two sensors with fixed but unknown measurement biases.
