Abstract

A system and method for performing correlation processing for identifying an object of interest in a cloud of remote objects of different types comprises receiving RF and IR measurement data including rotational, translational bias and noise errors and determining and removing biases by minimizing a weighted distance metric. Correlation pairing metrics are then determined according to a maximum likelihood criteria. This method produces a correlation solution that minimizes the effects of biases and random noise while accounting for the statistical properties of the parameters being estimated.
