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 problem involvi...... hiện toàn bộ

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

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

A region-based multiresolution image fusion algorithm Tập 2 - Trang 1557-1564 vol.2
G. Piella
We propose a multiresolution fusion algorithm which combines aspects of region and pixel-based fusion. We use multiresolution decompositions to represent the input images at different scales, and introduce a multiresolution/multimodal segmentation to partition the image domain at these scales. The basic idea is to use this segmentation to guide the fusion process. A region-based multiresolution ap...... hiện toàn bộ

Collaborative multi-modality target classification in distributed sensor networks Tập 1 - Trang 285-290 vol.1
Xiaoling Wang, Hairong Qi, S.S. Iyengar
A new computing paradigm which utilizes mobile agents to carry out collaborative target classification in distributed sensor networks is presented in this paper. Instead of each sensor sending local classification results to a processing center where the fusion process is taken place, a mobile agent is dispatched from the processing center and the fusion process is executed at each sensor node.

Fuzzy statistical classification method for multiband image fusion Tập 1 - Trang 178-184 vol.1
M. Germain, M. Voorons, J.M. Boucher, G.B. Benie
We propose a new fusion algorithm based on the Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence. The main interest of this method is a new distribution of mass functions. Generally the methods used are the mass consonant distribution and the partially mass consonant distribution. The originality of this work is to define uncertain and inaccurate data by using a fuzzy statistical classification algorithm such as...... hiện toàn bộ

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

Towards a query assisted tool for situation assessment Tập 2 - Trang 1395-1402 vol.2
J. Fransson, E. Jungert
A critical problem when designing systems to support interpretation of real-world situations is how to handle possible alternative world views. This is especially true in situation assessment (SA) where the complexity of the task often requires the use of many diverse methods. If combined in an ad-hoc way, there is little or no chance of finding alternative solutions in a structured and reliable w...... hiện toàn bộ

A multi-mode image tracking system based on distributed fusion Tập 2 - Trang 832-837 vol.2
Lin zheng, Chongzhao Han, Dongguang Zuo, Hongsen Yan
In this paper, a multi-mode image tracking system was designed, which uses the distributed structure to fuse the tracking results of these modes. Because of noise in the image, the presence of occlusion, and deformation of the tracked target, some tracking algorithms may fail. The aim of the paper is to merge the advantages of all tracking algorithms to obtain robust behaviour. There are three tra...... hiện toàn bộ
