Algorithm for multiple targets localization and data association in distributed radar networks

This paper presents the algorithm of multiple target localization from the time delay in the network with omnidirectional radars. All possible combinations from the set of the measured time delay values in each of the radar are processed with this algorithm. The combination that does not correspond to the real target position is considered as a ghost target. The proposed localization algorithm consists of the three stages, where the filtering of the incorrect associations, deghosting, is made.
