Synopsis

The ?eld of multi-sensor fusion and integration is growing into signi?cance as our societyisintransitionintoubiquitouscomputingenvironmentswithroboticservices everywhere under ambient intelligence. What surround us are to be the networks of sensors and actuators that monitor our environment, health, security and safety, as well as the service robots, intelligent vehicles, and autonomous systems of ever heightened autonomy and dependability with integrated heterogeneous sensors and actuators. The ?eld of multi-sensor fusion and integration plays key role for m- ing the above transition possible by providing fundamental theories and tools for implementation. This volume is an edition of the papers selected from the 7th IEEE International Conference on Multi-Sensor Integration and Fusion, IEEE MFI‘08, held in Seoul, Korea, August 20–22, 2008. Only 32 papers out of the 122 papers accepted for IEEE MFI’08 were chosen and requested for revision and extension to be included in this volume. The 32 contributions to this volume are organized into three parts: Part I is dedicated to the Theories in Data and Information Fusion, Part II to the Multi-Sensor Fusion and Integration in Robotics and Vision, and Part III to the Applications to Sensor Networks and Ubiquitous Computing Environments. To help readers understand better, a part summary is included in each part as an introduction. The summaries of Parts I, II, and III are prepared respectively by Prof. Hanseok Ko, Prof. Sukhan Lee and Prof. Hernsoo Hahn.

About this title

From the Back Cover

This volume aims at providing engineers, researchers, educators, and advanced students in the field of Multisensor Fusion and Integration for Intelligent Systems with the recent progress in theory and applications. This was done by selecting high quality papers with appropriate themes from the IEEE International Conference on of Multisensor Fusion and Integration for Intelligent Systems (MFI 2008) held in Seoul, Korea, August 20-22, 2008, and by editing them for a consistent flow of the chosen theme. The book has the following distinct features: 1) The book addresses the growing interest in our society regarding the field of Multisensor Fusion and Integration for Intelligent Systems and 2) the book contains an introduction for each selected theme and included the editorial process to collect final manuscripts in major revision. The following topics are covered by the book: Sensor Network, Information Fusion, Robotics, Surveillance, Vision, HCI, SLAM, Applications (Underwater, ITS, etc.).
