Title: Projection-Based Constrained State Estimation and Fusion for Tracking Over Long-Haul Links

Journal Article · · IEEE Access

In many mission-critical systems, a number of sensors are deployed to track ground targets with linear or nonlinear constraints on their motion dynamics. These sensors generate state estimates to be sent over long-haul links to a remote fusion center. We propose closed-form projection-based methods to incorporate known constraints into the estimation and fusion process. The extensive performance evaluation results demonstrate the extent to which projection-based fusion can improve the overall tracking accuracy performance in the presence of communication loss and delay.
