In support of the AFOSR program in Information Fusion, the CNS Technology
Laboratory at Boston University is developing and applying neural models of
image and signal processing, pattern learning and recognition, associative
learning dynamics, and 3D visualization, to the domain of Information Fusion for
Image Analysis in a geospatial context. Our research is focused by a challenge

A new method for representing linguistic quantifications by random sets with applications to tracking and data fusion Tập 2 - Trang 1308-1315 vol.2
W.C. Torrez, D. Bamber, I.R. Goodman, H.T. Nguyen
There is an obvious need to be able to integrate both linguistic-based and
stochastic-based input information in data fusion. In particular, this need is
critical in addressing problems of track association, including cyber-state
intrusions. This paper treats this issue through a new insight into how three
apparently distinct mathematical tools can be combined: "boolean relational
event algebra" (... hiện toàn bộ

Particle filtering for multi-target tracking and sensor management Tập 1 - Trang 474-481 vol.1
A. Doucet, B.-N. Vo, C. Andrieu, M. Davy
In this paper, we present computational methods based on particle filters to
address the multi-target tracking and sensor management problems. We present a
jump Markov model of multi-target systems and an efficient particle filtering
algorithm to perform inference. In addition, we also present a formulation of
the sensor management problem and its solution using particle methods.

Multi-sensor data fusion architecture based on adaptive Kalman filters and fuzzy logic performance assessment Tập 2 - Trang 1542-1549 vol.2
P.J. Escamilla-Ambrosio, N. Mort
In this work a novel multi-sensor data fusion (MSDF) architecture is presented.
First, each measurement-vector coming from each sensor is fed to a fuzzy
logic-based adaptive Kalman filter (FL-AKF); thus there are N sensors and N
FL-AKFs working in parallel. The adaptation in each FL-AKF is, in the sense of
dynamically tuning the measurement noise covariance matrix R, employing a fuzzy
inference sy... hiện toàn bộ

Ranking by AHP: a rough approach Tập 1 - Trang 185-190 vol.1
S.S. Alam, G. Shrabonti
Decision making is always a difficult assignment for everyone in every context
and more information eases the process and makes it more accurate. More data
does not always mean more information. Rough sets alone can be adopted to handle
hierarchical structure in the family of criteria using decision rules based on
preference model. The rules are induced from the preferential information given
by t... hiện toàn bộ

Sensor registration using airlanes Tập 1 - Trang 354-360 vol.1
Hwa-Tung Ong, B. Ristic, M.G. Oxenham
In integrated multisensor surveillance systems, a prerequisite for sensor data
fusion is accurate registration of the sensors. In this paper, a recursive
Bayesian method for sensor registration at the sensor level is proposed that
exploits airlane information., A probabilistic model of the state of a target of
opportunity is first formulated based on the airlane information. Then, the
paper descri... hiện toàn bộ

Optimal update with out-of-sequence measurements for distributed filtering Tập 2 - Trang 1519-1526 vol.2
Keshu Zhang, X.R. Li
This paper is concerned with optimal filtering in a distributed multiple sensor
system with the so-called out-of-sequence measurements (OOSM). Based on BLUE
(best linear unbiased estimation) fusion, we present two algorithms for updating
with OOSM that are optimal for the information available at the time of update.
Different minimum storage of information concerning the occurrence time of OOSMs

Fusion of multi-modality volumetric medical imagery Tập 2 - Trang 1206-1212 vol.2
M. Aguilar, J.R. New
Ongoing efforts at our laboratory have targeted the development of techniques
for fusing medical imagery of various modalities (i.e. MRI, CT, PET, SPECT,
etc.) into single image products. Past results have demonstrated the potential
for user performance improvements and workload reduction. While these are
positive results, a need exists to address the three-dimensional nature of most
medical image... hiện toàn bộ

Exploiting MODTRAN radiation transport for atmospheric correction: The FLAASH algorithm Tập 2 - Trang 798-803 vol.2

Terrain categorization and target detection algorithms applied to hyperspectral
imagery (HSI) typically operate on the measured reflectance (of sun and sky
illumination) by an object or scene. Since the reflectance is a non-dimensional
ratio, the reflectance by an object is nominally not affected by variations in
lighting conditions. Atmospheric correction (referred to as atmospheric
compensation,... hiện toàn bộ

A new definition of qualified gain in a data fusion process: application to telemedicine Tập 2 - Trang 865-872 vol.2
D. Bellot, A. Boyer, F. Charpillet
A formal framework is proposed for defining data fusion processes. Particularly
the notion of qualified gain is proposed: gain related to representation,
completeness, accuracy and certainty. These notions are applied to a medical
monitoring and diagnosis problem where a dynamic Bayesian network is used to
model time series of observations and evolving states. The model aims at giving
a daily diag... hiện toàn bộ
