These activities must be performed autonomously by capturing data from the environment; usually, the data present errors and uncertainties that impact the recognition and resolution in the detection and identification of objects. The resolution in the acquisition of data can be improved by integrating data sensor fusion systems to measure the same physical phenomenon from two or more sensors by retrieving information simultaneously. This paper uses the constant turn and rate velocity (CTRV) kinematic model of a drone but includes the angular velocity not considered in previous works as a complementary alternative in Lidar and Radar data sensor fusion retrieved using UAVs and applying the extended Kalman filter (EKF) for the detection of moving targets. The performance of the EKF is evaluated by using a dataset that jointly includes position data captured from a LiDAR and a Radar sensor for an object in movement following a trajectory with sudden changes. Additive white Gaussian noise is then introduced into the data to degrade the data. Then, the root mean square error (RMSE) versus the increase in noise power is evaluated, and the results show an improvement of 0.4 for object detection over other conventional kinematic models that do not consider significant trajectory changes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15133396","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,5]],"date-time":"2023-07-05T00:37:28Z","timestamp":1688517448000},"page":"3396","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":43,"title":["Application of Data Sensor Fusion Using Extended Kalman Filter Algorithm for Identification and Tracking of Moving Targets from LiDAR\u2013Radar Data"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Oscar Javier","family":"Monta\u00f1ez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic Engineering, Pedagogical and Technological University of Colombia, Sogamoso 152210, Colombia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1656-4452","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marco Javier","family":"Suarez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Systems and Computing Engineering, Pedagogical and Technological University of Colombia, Sogamoso 152210, Colombia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0910-8539","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eduardo Avendano","family":"Fernandez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic Engineering, Pedagogical and Technological University of Colombia, Sogamoso 152210, Colombia"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Lee, S., Har, D., and Kum, D.
