Multilevel data association for the Vessel Traffic Services system and the Joint Maritime Command Information System

This thesis develops an algorithm to fuse redundant observations due to multiple sensor coverage of a vessel. Fuzzy membership functions are used as a measure of correlation, and a fuzzy associative system determines which observations represent the same vessel. The result is a computationally effic...
