Abstract: A method of modelling the uncertainty of sensors in a central-level tracking architecture system for fusing a plurality of the sensor detections in respect to at least one sensor object. The detections acquired from the sensors correspond to at least one dimension of the at least one sensor object. For each sensor it is set a predetermined association gate minimum threshold for each dimension by setting a predetermined amount of sensor detection error for each dimension based on which an increase of each sensor detection error is modeled as a function of distance. An association gate is computed by increasing according to the modeling each sensor detection error above the predetermined association gate minimum threshold. A covariance matrix is computed for each sensor associated to each detection. A plurality of covariance matrices corresponding to all sensors is stored and made available to the central-level tracking system for fusing the plurality of sensor detections.
