TY - GEN N2 - To sail safely, an autonomous vessel should be able to keep track of the position and motion of other vessels<br> and obstacles, which refers to the multi-target tracking problem. Furthermore, RADAR and automatic identification<br> system (AIS) are two sensors commonly used onboard for tracking maritime targets. The fusion of these two<br> sensors, utilizing complementary information and handling the conflicting data, gets increasingly important during<br> autonomous sailing. However, due to the immaturity of multi-target tracking methods, the fusion was hardly<br> systematically discussed, when there are missed detections from certain single sensors and conflicts between two<br> sensors. As the new multi-target tracking methods have been proposed, this paper first presents a sequential<br> measurement-level fusion approach of RADAR and AIS based on the newest random finite set (RFS)-based filter<br> &mdash; Poisson multi-Bernoulli mixture (PMBM) filter. The comparison of the performance both using sequential<br> fusion and using the sensor information individually is presented in this article. Then the proposed sequential<br> fusion of RADAR and AIS based on PMBM filter was applied to a real maritime case. The tracking results are<br> given and the performance is analyzed.
