Different data fusion methods have been developed in order to optimize the overall system output in a variety of applications for which data fusion might be useful: security (humanitarian, military), medical diagnosis, environmental monitoring, remote sensing, robotics, etc. BT - Sensor and Data Fusion SP - Ch. 3 UR - https://doi.org/10.5772/6570 DO - 10.5772/6570 SN - PB - IntechOpen CY - Rijeka Y2 - 2024-04-19 ER -
