Synopsis

The emerging technology of multisensor data fusion has a wide range of applications, both in Department of Defense (DoD) areas and in the civilian arena. The techniques of multisensor data fusion draw from an equally broad range of disciplines, including artificial intelligence, pattern recognition, and statistical estimation. With the rapid evolution of computers and the maturation of data fusion technology, the door to using data fusion in everyday applications is now wide open and presenting great opportunities.

The Handbook of Multisensor Data Fusion provides a unique, comprehensive, and up-to-date resource for data fusion systems designers and researchers. Divided into five parts, it:

offers a thorough introduction to data fusion terminology and models

describes advanced techniques for data association, target tracking, and identification

presents practical information on system development, including requirements analysis, systems engineering, algorithm selection, database design, human-computer interfaces, and performance assessment

introduces applications from the DoD, NASA, DARPA, and condition-based monitoring of complex machinery

supplies data fusion resources and Web sites

The contributing authors are all recognized leaders in data fusion and have collaborated to provide what promises to be the definitive reference for this rapidly developing field. Whether you are a researcher, system designer, implementer, or student, in the Handbook of Multisensor Data Fusion you'll find everything you need, from a basic introduction and survey of data fusion technology to advanced mathematics and theory, including very practical advice on data fusion system development and implementation.

Llinas has a PhD in Operations Research and Statistics at the State Univ. of NY. He was Assistant Professor at the State Univ. of NY at Albany, and Adjunct Professor at George Washington Univ. He is technical advisor to the DoD/Joint Directors of Labora

David L. Hall was a professor of Philosophy at the University of Texas at El Paso. His early research on A. N. Whitehead and American philosophy led him to rethink our understanding of both Daoism and classical Greek philosophy and resulted in the publication of "The Uncertain Phoenix" and "Eros" "and Irony". In addition to the interpretive studies of classical Chinese philosophy, he continued to publish in American philosophy with "Richard Rorty: Prophet and Poet of the New Pragmatism".
