Abstract :
The tracking and ultimate identification of closely spaced objects is an area of interest to many surveillance systems. Much effort in recent years has been concentrated on the more "front-end" problem of optimizing the initial detection. However, the sorting and processing of crossing tracks and parallel tracks is a problem regardless of signal to noise ratio. In this paper, the application of a pattern recognition approach is investigated. A simulated track scenario is developed and the approach evaluated using the scenario. Examples of performance and results of the simulation study are given.
