Abstract:

This report is the first part of a two part study concerning performance measures and scoring procedures for the multiple target, multiple sensor correlation problem. In this document, a methodology is developed for determining how well the outputs in the form of partitionings of the data of a given correlator tracker match the actual track sets and false alarms that are present.
