Interoperability and Sensor Fusion Part Ⅲ: Seeking Solutions

摘要

Part Ⅱ: System Architecture developed the concept of sensor fusion system architecture as a directed graph that represents the flow of sensor data from sensors to users. The architecture was shown to be essentially the same thing as the track template developed in Part Ⅰ: Track Management, and that it should be a tree. Each multiple-user-multiple-sensor (MUMS) vertex in the architecture requires a data link over which track partitioning decisions are shared using the hierarchical association method (HAM). Architectures are interoperable only if they are sub-trees of a common tree, and the similar sources principle was applied to develop the main features of an ideal common tree.
