Abstract
A tracking system for tracking a moving target includes a processor and a tracking module that implements an iterative process for tracking the moving target. The iterative process includes receiving sensor data for a current state of the moving target. The process also includes applying a filter engine to the sensor data and a measure of error of a previous prediction of the current state of the target to produce a first estimate for an upcoming state and a first measure of error thereof. The process also includes receiving from at least one second tracking system, at least one second estimate for the upcoming state and second measure of error thereof. The process further includes defining a consensus estimate for the upcoming state and a consensus measure of error thereof using the first estimate and the at least one second estimate and the first and second measure of error thereof.
