This research programme will investigate and develop new distributed multi-target multi-source detection (DMMD) and tracking algorithms for sensor networks with constrained communication resources. Current approaches to DMMD have generalised distributed data fusion (DDF) algorithms by combining them with multiple hypothesis tracking (MHT) algorithms. However, the approximations inherent in MHT can lead to an unacceptable degradation in tracking performance.
The University Defence Research Centre (UDRC) in Signal Processing is based in Imperial College, London and is sponsored by MOD and EPSRC. The UDRC is delivered in partnership between Dstl and Imperial College.
