Abstract

The issues involved in integrating multiple sensors into the operation of a system are presented in the context of the type of information these sensors can uniquely provide. A survey is provided of the variety of approaches to the problem of multisensor integration and fusion that have appeared in the literature in recent years ranging from general paradigms, frameworks, and methods for integrating and fusing multisensory information to existing multisensor systems used in different areas of application. General multisensor fusion methods, sensor selection strategies, and world models are examined, along with approaches to the integration and fusion of information from combinations of different types of sensors. Short descriptions of the role of multisensor integration and fusion in the operation of a number of existing mobile robots are provided, together with proposed high-level multisensory representations suitable for mobile robot navigation and control. Existing multisensor systems for industrial and other applications are considered.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
