Screen Shot #4 (Merely a picture to illustrate that our GUI is totally self-explanatory) 

The essence of how to handle multi-target tracking using Kalman filters (via radar, sonar, other acoustic, or infrared) is conveyed in the following two screens:

Candy, J. V., Model-Based Signal Processing, Simon Haykin (Editor), IEEE Press and Wiley-Interscience, A John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Publication, Hoboken, NJ, 2006. [This new book, by an author with a Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory/University of California, Santa Barbara affiliation, offers a reasonably wide modern coverage and good pointers to precedents just like our own TeK Associates’ TK-MIP also offers but our software costs only $499 and their software cost more than three times as much and apparently does much less (and requires the use of MatLab, which is a considerable expense in itself)].
