Sensor and Data Fusion: A Tool for Information Assessment and Decision Making, 2nd Ed.
2012-01-01
As in the first edition, the book discusses the benefits of sensor fusion that accrue when sensors that operate with different phenomenologies or surveil separate volumes of space are used to gather signatures and data about objects or events in their field of view. Subject matter includes: (1) applications of multiple-sensor systems to vehicular traffic management, target classification and tracking, military and homeland defense, and battlefield assessment; (2) target, background, and atmospheric signature-generation phenomena and modeling; (3) the JDL data fusion model; (4) sensor fusion architectures; and (5) detailed descriptions of algorithms that combine multiple-sensor data from target identity and tracking data fusion architectures.
