    Abstract: A vehicle system includes a first sensor and a second sensor, each having, respectively, different first and second modalities. A controller includes a processor configured to: receive a first sensor input from the first sensor and a second sensor input from the second sensor; detect, synchronously, first and second observations from, respectively, the first and second sensor inputs; project the detected first and second observations onto a graph network; associate the first and second observations with a target on the graph network, the target having a trajectory on the graph network; select either the first or the second observation as a best observation based on characteristics of the first and second sensors; and estimate a current position of the target by performing a prediction based on the best observation and a current timestamp.
