which includes initial association and fine association
is presented based on the fusion of local estimations. The data association algorithm[1] based on ternary searching is extended to MSMT case. On the basis of it
the relation between local position estimations at the main sensor and ones at others is given. The fine association is completed by using nearst neighbor JPDA(NNJPI)A). All local estirnations from the same targets are fused to obtain the global estiniations. A comparison of the algorithm here with the existing disiributed JPDA one is made
which shows that the algorithm here effeciently reduces computational cost with basic approximate performance.
