Multiple targets vector miss distance measurement accuracy based on 2-D assignment algorithms

An extension of 2-D assignment approach is proposed for measurement-to-target association for improving multiple targets vector miss distance measurement accuracy. When the multiple targets move so closely, the measurements can not be fully resolved due to finite resolution. The proposed method adopts an auction algorithm to compute the feasible measurement-to-target with assignment with unresolved measurements for solving this 2-D assignment problem. Computer simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of this method.
