A General Theory of Signal Integration for Fault-Tolerant Distributed Sensor Network
Abstract
In recent years, the increasing sophistication of surveillance systems and tracking mechanisms has generated a great deal of interest in the development of new computational structures and architectures for detecting and tracking multiple targets, using data from many sensors. The design of spatially distributed target-detection-and-tracking systems involves the integration of solutions obtained by solving subproblems in data-association, hypothesis testing, data fusion, etc. This must include the cooperative solution of problems by a decentralized and loosely coupled collection of processors, each of which integrates information received from a cluster of spatially distributed sensors into a manageable and reliable output for further integration at a higher level. This process requires the design of efficient architectures and computational techniques to abstractly represent and integrate sensor information.
