Abstract

A computer method for accurate target tracking by a faster method for hit-to-target data association. The method involves using an approximation of a weighted centroid of hits to update the calculated tracks. The result, while losing theoretical accuracy since it approximates the calculation, produces fast calculations. Further, the calculated result has sufficient accuracy for most practical applications.
