Localizing, tracking and classifying aerial objects

This paper deals with the tracking of multiple objects since it has become one of the most interesting and active fields of research. The aim of the aircraft application is to localize, track and classify different aerial maneuvering aircraft using the Interacting Multiple Model (IMM) combined with the assignment Global Nearest Neighbor (GNN) algorithm based on the aircraft's kinematic behavior. The GNN represents the combinatorial optimization solution based on the comparison of different assignments.
