Estimation and Decision Fusion: A Survey

Data fusion has been applied to a large number of fields and the corresponding applications utilize numerous mathematical tools. This survey limits the scope to some aspects of estimation and decision fusion. In estimation fusion our main focus is on the cross-correlation between local estimates from different sources. On the other hand, the problem of decision fusion is discussed with emphasis on the classifier combining techniques.
