  • Patent number: 11599816
    Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for determining a probability that an encountered platform was of a specific type given that a plurality of emitters exist on the platform and each emitter has a computed probability that it is of each of a set of types. A preprocessing stage operates on a description of the environment and determines the probability of a set of events that are independent of any observation. A runtime processing stage uses the terms computed in the preprocessing stage along with data assembled from a set of observations to determine the conditional probability that a particular platform type was the type encountered.
