Expectation Maximisation for Sensor Data Fusion
نویسنده
چکیده
The expectation maximisation algorithm (EM) was introduced by Dempster, Laird and Rubin in 1977 [DLR77]. The basic of expextation maximisation is maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). In modern sensor data fusion expectation maximisation becomes a substantial part in several applications, e.g. multi target tracking with probabilistic multi hypothesis tracking (PMHT), target extraction within probability hypothesis density (PHD) filter, cluster analysis within multidimensional data association, or image computing.

Cool Fusion Statistical Modelling for Data Fusion
ABSTRACT The consequences of the use of probability in modelling under uncertainty are explored, and it is shown how data and parameter independence and likelihood modularity emerge as desirable properties for statistical models. They lead directly to multi-object models which themselves create the association problem. The expectation-maximisation (EM) technique is introduced and then applied t...

Today due to the importance and necessity of implementing security systems in homes and other buildings, systems with higher certainty, lower cost and with sensor fusion methods are more attractive, as an applicable and high performance methods for the researchers. In this paper, the application of Dempster-Shafer evidential theory and also the newer, more general one Dezert-Smarandache theory ...
متن کاملUncertainty Measurement for Ultrasonic Sensor Fusion Using Generalized Aggregated Uncertainty Measure 1
In this paper, target differentiation based on pattern of data which are obtained by a set of two ultrasonic sensors is considered. A neural network based target classifier is applied to these data to categorize the data of each sensor. Then the results are fused together by Dempster–Shafer theory (DST) and Dezert–Smarandache theory (DSmT) to make final decision. The Generalized Aggregated Unce...
متن کاملA New Approach to Self-Localization for Mobile Robots Using Sensor Data Fusion
This paper proposes a new approach for calibration of dead reckoning process. Using the well-known UMBmark (University of Michigan Benchmark) is not sufficient for a desirable calibration of dead reckoning. Besides, existing calibration methods usually require explicit measurement of actual motion of the robot. Some recent methods use the smart encoder trailer or long range finder sensors such ...
متن کاملOn the Equivalence of the Extended Kalman Smoother and the Expectation Maximisation Algorithm for Polynomial Signal Models
The Iterated Extended Kalman smoother (IEKS) is shown to be equivalent to one iteration of the Expectation Maximisation (EM)-based SAGE algorithm for the class of nonlinear signal models containing polynomial dynamics. Thus the IEKS is a maximum a posteriori (MAP) state sequence estimator for this class of systems. The Iterated Extended Kalman filter (IEKF) can be thought of as a heuristic, onl...
