Abstract

In this paper, we present a method for multiple target two-dimensional tracking using multiple sensors with very low azimuth resolution. Due to the scarce azimuth resolution, the data association is performed using range and Doppler information only from four radars. The proposed algorithm is tailored to perform in maritime scenarios. In order to test the algorithm performance, sea clutter data have been taken under consideration when simulating data.
