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

Information fusion technology requirements for the National System for Geospatial Intelligence (NSGI) enterprise Tập 2 - Trang 784-791 vol.2
P.Q. Hwang, Chung Hye Read
The future success of the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) and the
National System for Geospatial Intelligence (NSGI) will hinge on the agency's
ability to deliver timely, tailored, precise data, information and knowledge to
its customers. NIMA must understand what information truly matters and foster an
analytical environment that encourages creativity and excellence. Achieving this

An information theoretic justification for covariance intersection and its generalization Tập 1 - Trang 505-511 vol.1
M.B. Hurley
A technique for fusing Kalman filter information has been developed by Jeffrey
Uhlmann, Simon Julier, and their associates that addresses the problems that
arise from fusing correlated measurements. The researchers have named this
technique "covariance intersection" and have presented papers on it at several
robotics and control theory conferences. The technique is applicable to these
research are... hiện toàn bộ

Radar detection improvement by integration of multi-object tracking Tập 2 - Trang 1249-1255 vol.2
Lingmin Meng, W. Grimm, J. Donne
This paper presents a new and simple approach to the problem of multiple sensor
data fusion. We introduce an efficient algorithm that can fuse multiple sensor
measurements to track an arbitrary number of objects in a cluttered environment.
The algorithm combines conventional Kalman filtering techniques with
probabilistic data association methods. A Gauss Markov process model is assumed
to handle s... hiện toàn bộ

Tracking algorithm speed comparisons between MHT and PMHT Tập 2 - Trang 846-851 vol.2
D.T. Dunham, R.J. Dempster, S.S. Blackman
The Probabilistic Multi-Hypothesis Tracker (PMHT) is an emerging tracking
algorithm that appears to have the potential to compete with other
well-established tracking algorithms. One of the values that the PMHT brings to
the tracking problem is its computational efficiency that grows linearly as the
number of targets increases, whereas most tracking algorithms increase
exponentially as targets inc... hiện toàn bộ

Spiral bevel gear damage detection using decision fusion analysis Tập 1 - Trang 94-100 vol.1
P.J. Dempsey, R.F. Handschuh, A.A. Afjeh
A diagnostic tool for detecting damage to spiral bevel gears was developed. Two
different monitoring technologies, oil debris analysis and vibration, were
integrated using data fusion into a health monitoring system for detecting
surface fatigue pitting damage on gears. This integrated system showed improved
detection and decision-making capabilities as compared to using individual
monitoring tech... hiện toàn bộ

Creating knowledge from heterogeneous data stove pipes Tập 2 - Trang 1162-1167 vol.2
L. Sokol
The modern day challenges posed by terrorism and crime mean that we must make
better use of the data we collect. We need to create a process that can
transform different types of explicit and structured data into actionable
knowledge. We need to be able to create unified infrastructure that will support
a single query across all of the data sources. This unified infrastructure would
allow us to in... hiện toàn bộ

On platform-based sensor management Tập 1 - Trang 600-607 vol.1
D. Stromberg, M. Andersson, F. Lantz
The design of a generic mechanism for platform-based data fusion and sensor
management is described. It is based on the duality between two types of agents,
task agents and sensor agents. Task agents buy information from sensor agents
that sell it, and sensors produce information that tasks consume. These buy and
sell interactions occur very frequently for systems involving sensors that work
with ... hiện toàn bộ
