Abstract :
This paper presents a method for predicting target locations based upon the correlation of movements for targets traveling in groups. The algorithm is designed for incorporating into a modern tracking system as a supplemental module, providing updated estimates of target velocities based upon the results of a correlation analysis. The approach is presented for application is the realm of ground-based tracking systems, although the approach is general and can be applied in any domain where target movements are correlated.
