Modern sliding table saws are equipped with several passive safety devices. However, alone in Germany several hundred severe injuries or limb amputations occur each year due disregarding safety regulations and demounting of passive safety devices. Thus an active safety system is developed in order to protect the machine user. For this purpose, a multi sensor system for hazard analysis based on ...

This article focuses on the fusion of flaw indications from multi-sensor nondestructive materials testing. Because each testing method makes use of a different physical principle, a multi-method approach has the potential of effectively differentiating actual defect indications from the many false alarms, thus enhancing detection reliability. In this study, we propose a new technique for aggreg...

This paper presents a sensor fusion strategy applied for Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) in dynamic environments. The designed approach consists of two features: (i) the first one is a fusion module which synthesizes line segments obtained from laser rangefinder and line features extracted from monocular camera. This policy eliminates any pseudo segments that appear from any moment...

For natural gas pipeline, it has a leak or not is critical. The most commonly problems in the pipeline leak detection methods are the difficulties to identify, inaccuracy to locate, thus, the natural gas pipeline detection is difficult to be applied, therefore, the use of neural network multi-sensor data fusion of the natural gas pipeline leak detection is particularly important. In this paper,...

A novel sensor fusion design framework is presented with the objective of improving the overall multi-sensor measurement system performance and achieving graceful degradation following individual sensor failures. The Unscented Information Filter (UIF) is used to provide a useful tool for combining information from multiple sources. A two-step off-line and on-line calibration procedure refines s...

We present the general idea of a computer vision structure-from-motion framework that makes use of sensor fusion to provide very accurate and efficient multi-view reconstruction results that can capture internal geometry. Given the increased ubiquity and cost-effectiveness of embedding sensors, such as positional sensors, into objects, it has become feasible to fuse such sensor data and camera-...

This paper presents an approach to the long range automatic detection of vehicles, using multi-sensor image sequences. The method was tested on a database of multi-spectral image sequences, acquired under diverse operational conditions. The approach consists of two parts. The rst part uses a semi-supervised approach, based on texture parameters, for detecting stationary targets. For each type o...

A sensor network operates on an infrastructure of sensing, computation, and communication, through which it perceives the evolution of events it observes. We propose a fusion-driven distributed dynamic network controller, called MDSTC, for a multi-modal sensor network that incorporates distributed computation for in-situ assessment, prognosis, and optimal reorganization of constrained resources...
