Kalman filter is about combining uncertain measurements, and human observations could be viewed as noisy sensors. On the other hand, the standard KF assumes unbiased sensors with Gaussian noise, and I don't know if those assumptions hold for human witnesses.

That's an interesting wrinkle. How would you model the potential bias in order to neutralize it though? Or would enough measurements simply cancel out any bias (or be very likely to)?
