A New Algorithm of Radar to ADS-B Registration

Abstract

Sensor registration is used to remove common radar bias errors such as range and azimuth bias in air traffic control applications. Automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADB-S) techniques are being developed and it is necessary to fuse the ADB-S and radar data. The data fusion requires an algorithm to correct range, azimuth and time biases for integration to take place. An algorithm based on optimization techniques and using a sequential reduction factor to accelerate the series of bias corrections is presented.
