Intelligent System Of Multi-sensor Information Fusion Theory And Application

Muitisensor intelligent systems comprise many sources of information and can obtain complete, reliable and accurate descriptions of the environment in lesser time, and at a lest cost If systems are to achieve a degree of intelligence and autonomy in uncertain or dynamic environment, they must be capable of using many different sources of sensory information in an active and dynamic manner. The theory of muitisensor system information fusion, as a now problem, is raised in order to design and analyze muitisensor intelligent systems more effectively. As systems are Increasingly required to operate in more complex domains, recent years have been seen an increasingly interest in the development of muitisensor system information fusion.Multisensor system information fusion is a multiple-discipline research discussion. It Involves in statistics, determinism, control theory, system Identification and sensor. Some important research accomplishments have been obtained In last years, but the theory, in general, is researched less than required. So far, The theory is yet not formed. The intention of this discussion is to develop the foundations of the theory of muitisensor system Information fusion. Chapter 1 introduces first the concept of muitisensor system information fusion and explains in detain patterns of Information fusion. Then, we talk about the advantages and futures of muitisensor system information fusion. In the same time, different areas of application and development of muitisensor system information fusion are Introduced. Chapter 2 introduces a frame of muitisensor system information fusion and establishes its major function models. This chapter also summaries sensor model and some typical fusion algorithms. Finally, we pose several representation topology structures for multisensor system information fusion.The sensors of intelligent systems are characterized by the diversity of information that they can provide and by the complexity of operation. According to sensory Information, the information fusion can be divided into qualitative Information fusion,...
