This paper provides a summary of the work carried out by BT Research over the last three years while investigating Generic Sensor Network Architectures and Sensor Web Enablement (SWE). An overview of SWE and Complex Event Processing (CEP) is provided. In addition, the SAPHE and BRIDGE projects are discussed, which have served as case studies for the application of SWE specifications or CEP tech...

Security is a very important issue when designing or deploying any network or protocol. The nature of large, ad-hoc, wireless sensor networks presents significant challenges in designing security schemes. One or several sensors then collect the detection results from other sensors. The collected data must be processed by the sensor to reduce the transmission burden before they are transmitted t...

Geosciences can only achieve their potential through the fusion of diverse Earth Observation and socio-economic data and information. In a multiple provider environment, fusion is only possible with an information system architecture based upon open standards. This paper reports on the results of a study of “To-Be” fusion environment based on open standards. Consistent with IEEE definitions, th...

In this paper the multi sensor fusion results obtained within the European research project GEODE (Ground Explosive Ordnance Detection system) are presented. The lay out of the test lane and the individual sensors used are described. The implementation of the SCOOP algorithm improves the ROC curves, as the false alarm surface and the number of false alarms both are taken into account. The confi...

due to their advantages, omni-directional mobile robots have found many applications especially in robotic soccer competitions. however, omni directional navigation system, omni-vision system and kicking mechanism in such mobile robots have not ever been combined. this situation brings the idea of a robot with no head direction into existence, a comprehensive omni directional mobile robot. such...

In this paper, we analyze the performance various sensor fusion models using an unmanned ground vehicle. In a given attack scenario, we examine how attacks influence on each fusion model by comparing the results of different models We conduct the experiments with real measurement data obtained from an unmanned ground vehicle. Keywords— Sensor Fusion Model; Attack; Resiliency

This paper focuses on multi-sensor fusion for navigation in difficult environments where none of the existing navigation technologies can satisfy requirements for accurate and reliable navigation if used in a stand-alone mode. A generic multi-sensor fusion approach is presented. This approach builds the navigation mechanization around a self-contained inertial navigator, which is used as a core...

The role of data fusion in sensor platforms is becoming increasingly important in various domains of science, technology and business. Fusion pertains to the merging or integration of information towards an enhanced level of awareness. This thesis provides a canonical overview of several major fusion architectures developed from the remote sensing and defense community. Additionally, it provide...

the purposes of human/machine perception, and for further Abstract: Image processing techniques primarily focus image-processing tasks such as segmentation, object upon enhancing the quality of an image or a set of detection or target recognition in applications such as images and to derive the maximum information from remote sensing and medical imaging. For example, visiblethem. Image Fusion i...
