A Novel Data Association Approach Based on Topology

Data association is important in multiple target tracking based on multiple sensors. For data association, the spatial registration is very crucial. In this paper, a novel data association method based on topology is proposed, which is based on the relatively invariant property. It uses the relative distance characteristics of the targets to process association. The proposed method can effectively implement spatial registration and data association together. The simulation results verify that the proposed method is more accurate and robust.
