Tracking systems often provide sets of tracks rather than raw detections obtained from sensors. Integrating these track sets into other tracking systems is challenging because the usual sensor models do not apply. In this work we present a method for fusing track data from multiple sensors in a central fusion node. The algorithm exploits the covariance intersection algorithm as a pseudo-Kalman filter which is integrated into a multi-sensor multi-target tracker within a Bayesian paradigm. This makes it possible to (i) integrate the proposed fusion method seamlessly into any existing tracker; (ii) modify multi-target trackers to take a set of tracks as a set of measurements; and (iii) perform gating to enable data association between tracks. The described method is demonstrated in simulations using several target trackers within the Stone Soup tracking framework.
