An Evaluation Method for Effectiveness of Multi-sensor Information Fusion

This paper studies on the effectiveness evaluation of multi-sensor information fusion, an analytic hierarchy process of evaluation is introduced and the process of evaluation index design is described. With C⁴ISR applications as background in the joint battlefield, a framework of indexes for effectiveness evaluation of fusion system is built and the decomposition of evaluation is made, three major evaluation and dozens of refinement indexes are proposed. Finally, the definition, meaning and calculation of each index are studied.
