In our system, process and measurement noises are estimated with steady-state filters to obtain combined measurement noise and process noise estimators for all sensors in order to obtain state estimation with a linear Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) estimator and accelerating the system's performance. The proposed adaptive tracking and fusion system was tested based on high fidelity simulation data and several real-world scenarios for automotive radar, where ground truth data is available for evaluation. We demonstrate the proposed method's accuracy and efficiency in a challenging, highly dynamic scenario where our system is benchmarked with Multiple Model filter in terms of error statistics and run time performance.}, language = {en} }
