Abstract :
The extension of classical detection theory, based on the theory of statistical hypothesis testing, to the case of distributed sensors is discussed. The development is based on the formulation of a decentralized or team hypothesis testing problem. Theoretical results concerning the form of the optimal decision rule, examples, application to data fusion, and open problems are presented.
