This document describes a multiple hypothesis-based data fusion tracker. Each hypothesis aligns to a different pseudo measurement type. The fusion tracker automatically determines, using a predefined error covariance associated with the radar, which pseudo measurement type has a greater chance of being accurate for a current situation. The fusion tracker may rely on either one of two combined radar and vision calculations, or the fusion tracker may ignore the vision-based pseudo measurements and instead, rely on radar pseudo measurements alone. By selecting between three different bounding boxes, a vision angle based box, a vision lateral position based box, or a radar only based box, the fusion tracker can balance accuracy and speed when drawing, repositioning, or resizing bounding boxes, even under congested traffic or other high volume situations.
