This paper presents an integrated model aimed at obtaining robust and reliable results in decision level multisensor data fusion applications. The proposed model is based on the connection of Dempster-Shafer evidence theory and an extreme learning machine. It includes three main improvement aspects: a mass constructing algorithm to build reasonable basic belief assignments (BBAs); an evidence s...

PARAMETRIC AND NONPARAMETRIC APPROACHES FOR MULTISENSOR DATA FUSION

The objective of the paper is to develop multilevel multisensor based decision fusion principles for the application of intelligent animal robot. This paper presents the design and implementation of a four-legged animal robot. The animal robot’s head, body, and legs were constructed using aluminum material. Control/decision unit, driver unit and sensory unit were designed for the control of the...

The methods of multi-DOF actuator orientation detection based on machine vision and magnetic field sensor and neural network based multisensor fusion are presented in this paper. Special grid pattern is printed on the surface of rotor according to the pseudo-random encoder for the camera capturing the image of the rotor. The magnetic field sensors are adopted and properly placed circling the sh...

The multisensor information fusion is a key issue for multisensor system. One of its difficulties lies in the switching of the state of sensor clusters. That is, which direction should the sensor information been fused into at a given moment? An algorithm of multisensor information fusion based on rough set and neural network was proposed in this paper. Firstly, the typical clustering distribut...

The art and science of multisensor data fusion is the emerging foundation for the development of next generation network-centric decision support systems, including critical infrastructure protection. These challenging technical objectives require the cooperative signal processing of a federation of critical infrastructures. Publish-subscribe architectures provide process-to-process messaging i...
