Tracking multiple time-varying states based on heterogeneous observations is a key problem in many applications. Here, we develop statistical model and algorithm for tracking an unknown number of targets the probabilistic fusion from two classes data sources. The first class, referred to as target-independent perception systems (TIPSs), consists sensors that periodically produce noisy measureme...
