Multi-sensor management for information fusion: issues and approaches

Multi-sensor management concerns the control of environment perception activities by managing or coordinating the usage of multiple sensor resources. It is an emerging research area, which has become increasingly important in research and development of modern multi-sensor systems. This paper presents a comprehensive review of multi-sensor management in relation to multi-sensor information fusion, describing its place and role in the larger context, generalizing main problems from existing application needs, and highlighting problem solving methodologies. 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
