Heterogeneous multi-metric learning for multi-sensor fusion

In this paper, we propose a multiple-metric learning algorithm to learn jointly a set of optimal homogenous/heterogeneous metrics in order to fuse the data collected from multiple sensors for classification. The learned metrics have the potential to perform better than the conventional Euclidean metric for classification. Moreover, in the case of heterogenous sensors, the learned multiple metrics can be quite different, which are adapted to each type of sensor. By learning the multiple metrics jointly within a single unified optimization framework, we can learn better metrics to fuse the multi-sensor data for joint classification.
