Assessing the Performance of Multisensor Fusion Processes

In recent years, numerous prototypical systems have been developed for multisensor data fusion. A paper by Hall, Linn, and Llinas describes over 50 such systems developed for DoD applications even some 10 years ago. Such systems have become ever more sophisticated. Indeed, many of the prototypical systems summarized by Hall, Linn, and Llinas utilize advanced identification techniques such as knowledgebased or expert systems, Dempster-Shafer interface techniques, adaptive neural networks, and sophisticated tracking algorithms.
