数据融合(Data Fusion)学习

定义及原理

数据融合技术是指利用计算机对按时序获得的若干观测信息，在一定准则下加以自动分析、综合，以完成所需的决策和评估任务而进行的信息处理技术。（百度百科）

Data fusion is the process of integrating multiple data sources to produce more consistent, accurate, and useful information than that provided by any individual data source. Data fusion processes are often categorized as low, intermediate, or high, depending on the processing stage at which fusion takes place. Data fusion is a subset of Information integration.（维基百科）

A multi-level process dealing with the association, correlation, combination of data and information from single and multiple sources to achieve refined position, identify estimates and complete and timely assessments of situations, threats and their significance.（JDL）

多传感器信息融合技术的基本原理也就像人脑综合处理信息一样充分利用多个传感器资源, 通过对这些传感器及其观测信息的合理支配和使用, 把多个传感器在时间和空间上的冗余或互补信息依据某种准则进行组合, 以获获取被观测对象的一致性解释或描述。数据融合的基本目标是通过数据优化组合导出更多有效信息。它的最终目的是利用多个传感器共同或联合操作的优势, 来提高多个传感
