Download or read book Multisensor Fusion written by Rajive Joshi and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1999 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fusion of information from sensors with different physical characteristics, such as sight, touch, sound, etc., enhances the understanding of our surroundings and provides the basis for planning, decision-making, and control of autonomous and intelligent machines. The minimal representation approach to multisensor fusion is based on the use of an information measure as a universal yardstick for fusion. Using models of sensor uncertainty, the representation size guides the integration of widely varying types of data and maximizes the information contributed to a consistent interpretation. In this book, the general theory of minimal representation multisensor fusion is developed and applied in a series of experimental studies of sensor-based robot manipulation. A novel application of differential evolutionary computation is introduced to achieve practical and effective solutions to this difficult computational problem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The philosophy of research at the University of Texas -- Robotics Research Group (RRG) is towards creating a foundation for an open architecture, reconfigurable intelligent machines to meet wide breadth of operational needs. An intelligent system is the one which has complete knowledge of its operating characteristics at all times (updated in real-time) and it can make on-the-fly decisions to adapt itself to the different conditions or present the best possible options to the human decision maker under specified and ranked criteria. The reality of all complex system is that they are inherently non-linear with coupled parameters. The traditional approach dealing with such systems assumes linearized models, imposing conservative bounds on the operational domain and thus limiting performance capability of the system. Recent advancements in sensor technology and availability of computational resources (embedded processing) at low cost have made real-time intelligent control feasible for complex systems. The computational intelligence envisioned in modern intelligent machines will enhance the system performance and will provide capabilities such as criteria based control, identification of incipient faults, condition based maintenance, fault tolerance, and ability to monitor performance parameters in real-time. The first step in this process is to equip a system with a comprehensive suite of sensors. These sensors will provide real-time data and awareness about both, the internal system states and the external/environmental operating conditions. The aim of this work is to establish an argument in favor of using multiple sensors in all complex electro-mechanical systems. The report discusses numerous benefits of a multi-sensor environment with suitable examples and attempts to justify its pressing need in all the existing complex mechanical systems. Case studies for a multi-sensor environment in railroad freight cars and vehicle systems are presented. Sensing requirements in freight train and vehicle systems are evaluated and suitable sensor technology and commercial sensor options are suggested for decision makers. In addition to benefits, challenges in a multi-sensor environment such as sensor noise, cabling complexities, signal processing, communication, data validation and data management, sensor fusion, information integration, maintenance etc. are addressed and best practices to alleviate these complexities are discussed in the report. This effort lays out a foundation for developing a multi-sensor system and will enable computational intelligence and structured decision making in the system.

Download or read book Multisensor Fusion written by Anthony K. Hyder and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 929 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For some time, all branches of the military have used a wide range of sensors to provide data for many purposes, including surveillance, reconnoitring, target detection and battle damage assessment. Many nations have also attempted to utilise these sensors for civilian applications, such as crop monitoring, agricultural disease tracking, environmental diagnostics, cartography, ocean temperature profiling, urban planning, and the characterisation of the Ozone Hole above Antarctica. The recent convergence of several important technologies has made possible new, advanced, high performance, sensor based applications relying on the near-simultaneous fusion of data from an ensemble of different types of sensors. The book examines the underlying principles of sensor operation and data fusion, the techniques and technologies that enable the process, including the operation of 'fusion engines'. Fundamental theory and the enabling technologies of data fusion are presented in a systematic and accessible manner. Applications are discussed in the areas of medicine, meteorology, BDA and targeting, transportation, cartography, the environment, agriculture, and manufacturing and process control.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining different perspectives from materials science, engineering, and computer science, this reference provides a unified view of the various aspects necessary for the successful realization of intelligent systems. The editors and authors are from academia and research institutions with close ties to industry, and are thus able to offer first-hand information here. They adopt a unique, three-tiered approach such that readers can gain basic, intermediate, and advanced topical knowledge. The technology section of the book is divided into chapters covering the basics of sensor integration in materials, the challenges associated with this approach, data processing, evaluation, and validation, as well as methods for achieving an autonomous energy supply. The applications part then goes on to showcase typical scenarios where material-integrated intelligent systems are already in use, such as for structural health monitoring and smart textiles.
