Abstract Multi-sensing system for target tracking has been addressed by many researchers from different fields. In this work, a multi-sensing system within the time, space, and frequency domains is first described. The system development is based on sensor spatial and temporal characteristics, and therefore is reliable and stable. The frequency outcome of sensors is employed to segment the detection scope into different domains, and is simple to implement. For resolving the challenge of decision-making strategy, this work combines the spatial and temporal properties with the determination mechanism as well as optimizes the system devising—making it a very promising basis for the realization of tracking accuracy improvement. With this strategy, target detection results are obtained and evaluated by probability-based parameters. The proposed decision-making scheme receives a high detection accuracy as well as a good working performance according to statistical analysis, allowing a straightforward methodology for the configuration of multi-sensing system.
