Adaptive fusion of sensor signals based on mutual information maximization

چکیده
The research approaches utilizing ubiquitous sensors to support human activities have become of major interest lately. Sensor fusion is one of the fundamental issues to develop such intelligent environments. The sensor fusion in previous works is performed in the task-level layer through individual representations of the sensors. Therefore, it does not provide new information by fusing sensors. This paper proposes another method that fuses sensory signals based on mutual information maximization in the signal-level layer. The fused signal provides us new information that cannot be obtained from individual sensors. As an example, this paper also shows experimental results in an audio-visual fusion task.

Attention to clapping - A direct method for detecting sound source from video and audio –
The research approaches utilizing ubiquitous sensors to support human activities have become of major interest lately. One of the required features of the ubiquitous sensor system is paying its attention to our signals, such as clapping hands and uttering keywords. To detect and localize these signs, it is useful to fuse visual and audio information. The sensor fusion in previous works is perfo...
متن کاملResearch of Blind Signals Separation with Genetic Algorithm and Particle Swarm Optimization Based on Mutual Information
Blind source separation technique separates mixed signals blindly without any information on the mixing system. In this paper, we have used two evolutionary algorithms, namely, genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization for blind source separation. In these techniques a novel fitness function that is based on the mutual information and high order statistics is proposed. In order to evalu...

متن کاملSensor Registration for Robotic Applications
Multi-sensor data fusion plays an essential role in most robotic applications. Appropriate registration of information from different sensors is a fundamental requirement in multi-sensor data fusion. Registration requires significant effort particularly when sensor signals do not have direct geometric interpretations, observer dynamics are unknown and occlusions are present. In this paper, we p...
متن کاملTarget Tracking with Unknown Maneuvers Using Adaptive Parameter Estimation in Wireless Sensor Networks
Abstract- Tracking a target which is sensed by a collection of randomly deployed, limited-capacity, and short-ranged sensors is a tricky problem and, yet applicable to the empirical world. In this paper, this challenge has been addressed a by introducing a nested algorithm to track a maneuvering target entering the sensor field. In the proposed nested algorithm, different modules are to fulfill...
