TECHNICAL COMMISSION III: Theory and Algorithms

There is an increasing trend of using several different sensors in data acquisition, including non-optical sensors. As a consequence, data and extracted information must be combined. Solutions to this fusion problem are offered on several levels, for example on the sensor level (sensor integration, geo-registering, data fusion), feature level, or symbolic level. Such a neat separation is desira...
