Abstract

This paper reviews the potential benefits that can be obtained by the implementation of data fusion in a multi-sensor environment. A thorough review of the commonly used data fusion frameworks is presented together with important factors that need to be considered during the development of an effective data fusion problem-solving strategy. A system-based approach is defined for the application of data fusion systems within engineering. Structured guidelines for users are proposed.
