This article proposes a method to classify multiple maneuvering targets at the same time. This task is a much harder problem than classifying a single target, as sensors do not know how to assign captured measurements to known targets. This article extends previous results scattered in the literature and unifies them in a single global framework with belief functions. Through two examples, it is shown that the full algorithm using belief functions improves results obtained with standard Bayesian classifiers and that it can be applied to a large variety of applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
