Abstract

Effective fusion of multi-parametric heterogeneous data is essential for better object identification, characterization and discrimination. In this report we discuss a practical example of fusing the data provided by imaging and nonimaging electro-optic sensors. The proposed approach allows the processing, integration and interpretation of such data streams from the sensors. Practical examples of improved accuracy in discriminating similar but non-identical objects are presented.
