DATA PROCESSING METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ITERATIVE SENSOR FUSION, COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM FOR IMPLEMENTING THE METHOD

Abstract

The invention relates to a data processing method for iterative sensor fusion with a computer system, the method comprising the steps of - receiving sensor data from at least a first data source type and a second data source type, wherein the first data source type is adapted for providing sensor data exclusively determining an entity and the second data source type is adapted for providing sensor data of a tracked entity, - generating, by a data adaptation module, a data source identifier for each of the sensor data, wherein the data source identifier comprises a data source type identifier corresponding to a data source type from which the sensor data is received, wherein a first data source type identifier corresponds to the first data source type and a second data source type identifier corresponds to the second data source type, - compiling, in a sampling step, a dataset to be associated comprising as elements newest sensor data received, and - iteratively performing a data association step on the dataset. The invention further relates to a computer system, a computer program product and a computer readable medium for implementing the method.
