Abstract
An input handler receives a plurality of observations from a plurality of sensors, the plurality of observations corresponding to a plurality of targets observed by the sensors. A correlation engine correlates, using a data fusion algorithm, observations of the plurality of observations with individual targets of the plurality of targets. A load monitor detects that a computational load associated with the correlating exceeds a threshold, and a bypass manager continues the correlating including bypassing at least a portion of the data fusion algorithm, in response to the detecting.
Claims20
A computer system including instructions recorded on a computer-readable medium and executable by at least one processor, the system comprising:
- an input handler configured to cause the at least one processor to receive a plurality of observations from a plurality of sensors, the plurality of observations corresponding to a plurality of targets observed by the sensors;
- a correlation engine configured to cause the at least one processor to correlate, using a data fusion algorithm, observations of the plurality of observations with individual targets of the plurality of targets;
- a load monitor configured to cause the at least one processor to detect that a computational load associated with the correlating exceeds a threshold;
- and
- a bypass manager configured to cause the at least one processor to continue the correlating including bypassing at least a portion of the data fusion algorithm, in response to the detecting.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving a plurality of observations from a plurality of sensors, the plurality of observations corresponding to a plurality of targets observed by the sensors;
- correlating, using a data fusion algorithm executed by a computer, observations of the plurality of observations with individual targets of the plurality of targets;
- detecting that a computational load associated with the correlating exceeds a threshold;
- and
- continuing the correlating including bypassing at least a portion of the data fusion algorithm, in response to the detecting.
A computer program product, the computer program product being tangibly embodied on a computer-readable medium and comprising instructions that, when executed, are configured to:
- receive a plurality of observations from a plurality of sensors, the plurality of observations corresponding to a plurality of targets observed by the sensors;
- correlate, using a data fusion algorithm, observations of the plurality of observations with individual targets of the plurality of targets;
- detect that a computational load associated with the correlating exceeds a threshold;
- and
- continue the correlating including bypassing at least a portion of the data fusion algorithm, in response to the detecting.
