Multisensor fusion and integration: approaches, applications, andfuture research directions

摘要

Multisensor fusion and integration is a rapidly evolving researchnarea and requires interdisciplinary knowledge in control theory, signalnprocessing, artificial intelligence, probability and statistics, etc.nThe advantages gained through the use of redundant, complementary, ornmore timely information in a system can provide more reliable andnaccurate information. This paper provides an overview of current sensorntechnologies and describes the paradigm of multisensor fusion andnintegration as well as fusion techniques at different fusion levels.nApplications of multisensor fusion in robotics, biomedical system,nequipment monitoring, remote sensing, and transportation system are alsondiscussed. Finally, future research directions of multisensor fusionntechnology including microsensors, smart sensors, and adaptive fusionntechniques are presented
