ABSTRACT

Over the past two decades, signi cant attention has been focused on multisensor data fusion for both military and nonmilitary applications. Data fusion techniques combine data from multiple sensors and related information to achieve more speci c inferences than could be achieved by using a single, independent sensor. Data fusion refers to the combination of data from multiple sensors (either of the same or different types), whereas information fusion refers to the combination of data and information from sensors, human reports, databases, etc.
