Book description

Expanding the scope of the best-selling first edition, this volume introduces nine additional chapters and updates others to focus on developments in the fusion of data in a variety of applications from military to automotive to medical. It provides much-needed information on mathematical techniques and computer methods employed to perform fusion. The added material covers, among other areas, advances in Kalman filtering, fusion in a network centric environment, service-oriented architecture concepts, intelligent agents for improved decision making, off-the-shelf tools to assist development of data fusion systems, and current medical applications.
