Executive Summary :

Multi-sensor networks can alleviate the need for high-cost, high-accuracy, single sensor tracking in favour of an abundance of lower-cost and lower-accuracy sensors to perform multi sensor tracking. The project envisages to use a multi-sensor network which gives rise to the need for a fusion step that combines the outputs of all sensor nodes into a single probabilistic state description. Information regarding the state of a space object is typically inferred via the processing of measurement data acquired from optical telescopes or radars in a Bayesian framework.
