Optimal Linear Estimation Fusion—Part V: Relationships
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we continue our study of optimal linear estimation fusion in a unified, general, and systematic setting. We clarify relationships among various BLUE and WLS fusion rules with complete, incomplete, and no prior information presented in Part I before; and we quantify the effect of prior information and data on fusion performance, including conditions under which prior information or data are redundant.

Unified Optimal Linear Estimation Fusion— Part I: Unified Models and Fusion Rules
Abstract—This paper deals with data fusion for the purpose of estimation. Three fusion architectures are considered: centralized, distributed, and hybrid. A unified linear model and general framework for these three architectures are established. Optimal fusion rules in the sense of best linear unbiased estimation (BLUE), weighted least squares (WLS), and their generalized versions are presente...
متن کاملOptimal Linear Estimation Fusion—Part IV: Optimality and Efficiency of Distributed Fusion
Abstract – This paper is concerned with the performance of distributed and centralized fusion with best linear unbiased estimation (BLUE), also known as linear minimum mean-square error (LMMSE) estimation, and optimal weighted least squares (WLS) estimation. Necessary and sufficient conditions for optimal distributed fusion rules to have identical performance as their centralized counterparts a...
متن کاملOptimal Linear Estimation Fusion—Part III: Cross-Correlation of Local Estimation Errors
The knowledge of the cross correlation of the errors of local estimates is needed in many techniques for distributed fusion. In fact, this cross covariance is a key quantity for the best linear unbiased estimation (BLUE), also known as linear minimum mean-square error (LMMSE) estimation, and optimal weighted least squares (WLS) fusion rules presented in Part I [8]. This paper presents exact, ex...

متن کاملUnified Optimal Linear Estimation Fusion— Part II: Discussions and Examples
Several unified optimal estimation/track fusion rules in the sense of best linear unbiased estimation (BLUE) and weighted least squares (WLS) have been presented in Part I [6] for centralized, distributed, and hybrid fusion architectures. This paper discusses their pros and cons, verifies these rules, and demonstrate via simulation examples how these fusion rules can be used in cases with eithe...
