Information fusion for image analysis: geospatial foundations for higher-level fusion Tập 1 - Trang 562-569 vol.1
A.M. Waxman, D.A. Fay, B.J. Rhodes, T.S. McKenna, R.T. Ivey, N.A. Bomberger, V.K. Bykoski, G.A. Carpenter
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

Knowledge-based fusion of Formets: discussion of an example Tập 1 - Trang 374-379 vol.1
F.P. Lorenz, J. Biermann
This research project for decision support and situation awareness goes beyond
classical systems for command and control. As enhancement to tactical situation
display, a tool based on situation independent fusion methods is developed. Its
rules and templates are given by background knowledge and a priori data. We
analyze formatted qualified command language (e.g. Formets) for its suitability
to re... hiện toàn bộ

A Markov model for initiating tracks with the probabilistic multi-hypothesis tracker Tập 1 - Trang 735-742 vol.1
S.J. Davey, D.A. Gray, S.B. Colegrove
An important problem in multi-target tracking is track initiation and
termination. The tracking algorithm aims to discriminate false detections caused
by various sources of interference from valid detections caused by targets of
interest. This is a problem of model order estimation. One approach to solving
this problem with the Probabilistic Data Association Filter has been referred to
as target v... hiện toàn bộ

Learning Bayesian networks. I. A theory based on MAP-MDL criteria Tập 2 - Trang 769-776 vol.2
Heping Pan
Bayesian networks provide a powerful architecture for information fusion of
multiple disparate variables. A theory of learning discrete Bayesian networks
from data is presented in this paper. The theory is based on a joint criterion
of maximizing the joint probability or interchangeably minimizing the joint
description length of the data and the Bayesian network model including the
network structu... hiện toàn bộ

Structured Knowledge Source Integration and its applications to information fusion Tập 2 - Trang 1340-1346 vol.2
J. Masters
Structured Knowledge Source Integration, or SKSI, is an ongoing research and
development project at Cycorp intended to enable the Cyc knowledge base to
integrate (access, query, assimilate, and merge) a variety of external
structured knowledge sources, such as databases, spreadsheets, XML or DAML
tagged text, GIS datasets, and queryable Web pages. With SKSI, the Cyc knowledge
base will be able to ... hiện toàn bộ

Optimal detection in a distributed multisensor architecture Tập 1 - Trang 34-40 vol.1
P.F. Singer
A detector defines a subset of inputs for which a detection is declared, as
such, the performance of a detector is limited by the input set. The optimal
detector which is presented in this paper defines the detection set which
provides the maximum probability of detection for a given probability of false
alarm. Further improvements in detection performance require a change to the
input set. Inclus... hiện toàn bộ

Experiments on individual classifiers and on fusion of a set of classifiers Tập 1 - Trang 272-277 vol.1
C. Tremblay, P. Valin
In the last decades many classification methods and fusers have been developed.
Considerable gains have been achieved in the classification performance by
fusing and combining different classifiers. We experiment a new method for ship
infrared imagery recognition based on the fusion of individual results in order
to obtain a more reliable decision. To optimize the results of every class of
ship, w... hiện toàn bộ

A proposed system for segmentation of information sources in portals and search engines repositories Tập 2 - Trang 1450-1456 vol.2
I. Anagnostopoulos, C. Anagnostopoulos, I. Papaleonidopoulos, V. Loumos, E. Kayafas
Nowadays, there is a huge volume of information on the Web, which is
disseminated to users in a chaotic way. In order to be easily accessed, the
information must be clustered and classified in appropriate knowledge areas.
Thus, many heavily visited sites or portals attempt to unify the access to
multiple information sources, providing by this way classification of
information. The paper proposes a... hiện toàn bộ
