In this paper we describe General Covariance Union (GCU) and show that solutions to GCU and the Minimum Enclosing Ellipsoid (MEE) problems are equivalent. This is a surprising result because GCU is defined over positive semidefinite (PSD) matrices with statistical interpretations while MEE involves PSD matrices with geometric interpretations. Their equivalence establishes an intersection between the seemingly disparate methodologies of covariance-based (e.g., Kalman) filtering and bounded region approaches to data fusion.
