Firstly, the zero-sum condition is used to select TDOA measurements according to the continuous measurement values within a certain period of time. Then, the selected TDOA measurements are associated with the multiple targets and the correct correlation probability is measured by the correlation degree. The algorithm is used in sea trial. Processing results show that the method proposed in this paper can effectively solve the TDOA measurement association problem, and can locate multiple targets at the same time.", }
