In sensing applications where multiple sensors observe the same scene, fusing sensor outputs can provide improved results. However, if some of the sensors are providing lower quality outputs, e.g. when one or more sensors has a poor signal-tonoise ratio (SNR) and therefore provides very noisy data, the fused results can be degraded. In this work, a multi-sensor conflict measure is proposed whic...

Image Fusion, a technique which combines complimentary information from different images of the same scene so that the fused image is more suitable for segmentation, feature extraction, object recognition and Human Visual System. In the proposed thesis work, a fast and efficient algorithm based on wavelet transform for multi-sensor image data has been proposed that could retrieve the prime feat...

due to their advantages, omni-directional mobile robots have found many applications especially in robotic soccer competitions. however, omni directional navigation system, omni-vision system and kicking mechanism in such mobile robots have not ever been combined. this situation brings the idea of a robot with no head direction into existence, a comprehensive omni directional mobile robot. such...

With the development of satellite and remote sensing techniques, more and more image data from airborne/satellite sensors have become available. Multi-sensor image fusion seeks to combine information from different images to obtain more inferences than can be derived from a single sensor. In image-based application fields, image fusion has emerged as a promising research area since the end of t...

For a multi-hop wireless sensor network, the limited sensing and communication resources give rise to distinct challenges to the task of tracking mobile targets, which is traditionally treated primarily from the data fusion perspective. This paper investigates the impact of sensor management on data fusion in a resource-limited network. A localized multi-sensor multi-target tracking framework i...

A low-level sensor fusion scheme is presented for the positioning of a multi-sensor robot. This non-hierarchical framework can be used for robot arms or other velocitycontrolled robots, and is part of the task function approach. A stability analysis is presented for the general case, then several control laws illustrate the versatility of the framework. This approach is applied to the multi-cam...
