A system and method for tracking multiple targets using distributed linear
sensor arrays. The system includes a plurality of arrays of sensors for
receiving signals from a target; a receiver for receiving signals
received by the plurality of sensor arrays; an analog/digital converter
for converting the signals received from the sensor arrays to a digital
format, if signals are received in an analog format; a digital storage
device for storing the digitized data from the sensor arrays; and a
computer system for retrieving the stored digitized data from the
plurality of sensor arrays and processing the data through the use of a
composite Hough transform to determine a track of the target. Embodiments
include a computer system and method for processing target data from
sensors through the use of a composite Hough transform to determine a
track of the target.
