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