Apparatus, method and system for multi-mode fusion processing of data of multiple different formats sensed from heterogeneous devices

摘要

Apparatus, method and system for hybrid multi-mode data fusion to fuse data of multiple different formats by a centralized data fusion processing and send the fused data by a distributed data processing to a set of heterogeneous sensor devices. The hybrid multi-mode data fusion apparatus comprises a multi-mode fusion module configured to operate in a first mode to receive fused data of multiple different formats sensed from a set of heterogeneous devices and configured to operate in a second mode to send the fused data to each of the heterogeneous devices. An association module to fuse data of multiple different formats sensed from each of the heterogeneous devices and to send the fused data to the multi-mode fusion module. A fusion track data file to store prior fused data to enable the multi-mode fusion module to send cueing information based upon the stored prior fused data to the heterogeneous devices.
