The measure of track correlation uncertainty was defined and was compared with the Shannon entropy measure and Hartley measure of information uncertainty.Then
the usage of track correlation uncertainty was expressed.Lastly
the requirements and a mathematic model for evaluating the track correlation uncertainty were proposed.Simulation results show that the track correlation uncertainty is measurable and can be correctly evaluated.The proposed evaluation method can quantitatively describe the effects of target separations
sensor measurement errors
correctness of track correlation
etc.to the track correlation uncertainty very well.Moreover
to the same input of correlation results
the proposed evaluating method can output almost the same evaluating results of track correlation uncertainty for the same correlated track pairs
no matter the sensors have systematic errors or not.
