Approaches on multi-sensor fusion under time-evolving conditions

A paradigm for optimum estimation of fused multiple sensor data is developed in order to best use the sensor information in the time evolving environment. Two basic approaches have been developed: dynamic moving quadratic curve fitting and weighted least mean square error. These two approaches are shown to be advantageous in terms of accuracy, speed, and versatility. The theoretical frameworks presented are supported by sets of simulation data.<<ETX>>
