A High-Level Track Fusion Scheme for Circular Quantities

Abstract: As sensors get more and more integrated, signal processing functions, like tracking, are performed closer to the sensor. Consequently, high level fusion is on the rise. Presented here is a high level fusion scheme incorporating not only linear,but circular quantities as well. Monte Carlo experiments are used to verify our novel fusion operators that work as a weighted average for the Wrapped Normal and the von-Mises distribution. To further verify the new fusion operators, we implemented a full track level fusion scheme and tested it by fusing the measurements of two RADAR sensors.
