Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure provide a method and an apparatus for sensor fusion. The method includes receiving, by a processor, track reports of at least a first sensor and a second sensor for sensor fusion, selecting a best track from at least the first sensor and the second sensor to reduce track error, determining a fused track that combines at least the first sensor and the second sensor and selecting one of the fused track and the best track as a system track of sensor fusion to minimize a system error.
