Abstract

This paper explores the increasing demand for accurate and resilient multi-sensor fusion techniques, particularly within 3D tracking systems enhanced by drone technology. Employing the adaptive kernel Kalman filter (AKKF) methodology within the Stone Soup framework, our research seeks to develop robust fusion approaches capable of seamlessly amalgamating data from a multi-sensor arrangement with fixed ground sensors and dynamic sensors mounted on drones. By capitalising on the adaptive nature of the AKKF, we aim to refine the precision and dependability of 3D object tracking in intricate scenarios. Through empirical evaluations, we illustrate the effectiveness of our proposed AKKF-based fusion strategies in enhancing tracking performance within the Stone Soup framework, thus contributing to the advancement of multi-sensor fusion methodologies within this framework.
