Fusion Channels: A Multi-sensor Data Fusion Architecture
نویسندگان
چکیده
Due to the falling price and availability of sensors, information capture and processing at a realtime or soft realtime rate is emerging as a dominating application space. This class includes interactive multimedia, robotics, security and surveillance applications and many more. A common denominator of these applications is fusion of data gathered by various sensors and data aggregators. In this paper we propose a Data Fusion architecture, specifically geared toward such multi-sensor data fusion applications and report on the prototype we have built. Our infrastructure provides a programming abstraction that offers programming ease, at the same time provides built-in optimizations that are quite complicated to implement from scratch. We show the ease of programming through two sample applications and also demonstrate through various experiments that our system has low overhead and offers better performance compared to otherwise naively written fusion routines. We also demonstrate improved scalability.

متن کاملControl of multi sensor system based on anomaly mapping and expert system
Multi sensor systems have performances that depend on the type of multi sensor data fusion. Multi sensor data fusion of raw detections (plots) has high performances but is seldom used in operational applications. A less efficient data fusion is preferred in the majority of operational multi sensor systems: data fusion of sensor tracks. Data fusion of sensor tracks is simpler and requires limite...
