Abstract

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part G: Journal of Aerospace Engineering, Ahead of Print.
This article addresses the critical problem of multi-target tracking for distributed spaceborne bearing-only sensors with limited fields of view (FoV). To overcome the issues of trajectory loss in partially overlapping FoV, we propose an innovative FoV ...
