A ships data association algorithm based on the ships formation structure and ships attribute information

In order to use the spaceborne optical imaging and electronic reconnaissance data to monitor the ships formation, this paper proposes a target association matching algorithm based on the structure of ships formation and targetspsila attribute. Simulation results that this algorithm delivers better performance compared to the traditional method, in the situation that because of the sensors are sparse sampling and the targets location precision are greatly different so that can not be established to creation the targetspsila motion model.
