| Abstract: A method and system for tracking at least one object using a plurality of
pointing sensors and a tracking system are disclosed herein. In a general
embodiment, the tracking system is configured to receive a series of
observation data relative to the at least one object over a time base for
each of the plurality of pointing sensors. The observation data may
include sensor position data, pointing vector data and observation error
data. The tracking system may further determine a triangulation point
using a magnitude of a shortest line connecting a line of sight value
from each of the series of observation data from each of the plurality of
sensors to the at least one object, and perform correlation processing on
the observation data and triangulation point to determine if at least two
of the plurality of sensors are tracking the same object. Observation
data may also be branched, associated and pruned using new incoming
observation data. |
