Abstract: A method includes generating an initial radar track using radar data and initial radar parameters and an initial camera track using image angular position data, initial camera parameters, and the radar range data in combination with calculating correction parameters to be applied to one of the radar data and the image data by comparing positions for the object from the initial radar track and the initial camera track, the first correction parameters being selected so that, when applied to the data from the other of the radar and the camera, to generate a first corrected track, a degree of correspondence between the first corrected track and the track of the other of the radar and camera is higher than a degree of correspondence between the initial radar track and the initial camera track.

Abstract: A system for tracking the movement of an object includes a radar device having a first field of view. The radar device generates radar data indicating one of a range corresponding to a distance of a moving object within the first field of view from the radar device and a range rate corresponding to a rate at which the distance is changing relative to the radar device. The system also includes an imager having a second field of view at least partially overlapping the first field of view in an overlap field of view. The imager generates imager data measuring, when the object is in the second field of view, an angular position of the object relative to the imager in at least one dimension. In addition, the system includes a processor combining the radar data and imager data, when the object is in the overlap field of view, to identify a track of the object in at least two dimensions.

Abstract: A method includes capturing first data with a first sensor and second data with a second sensor in a multi-sensor tracking system, the first and second data corresponding to a path of an object, wherein each of the sensors has a set of initial parameters. The method includes generating a first initial object track using the first data and the first initial parameters and a second initial object track using the second data and the second initial parameters, matching the first and second initial object tracks and determining a degree of correspondence therebetween; and calculating first optimized parameters for the first sensor, wherein, when a first optimized object track is calculated using the first data and the first optimized parameters, the first optimized object track and the second initial object track have a higher degree of correspondence therebetween than the first and second initial object tracks.
