Abstract :
This paper describes some preliminary results from a study of the relative importance of communication capacity and computing capacity in multi-sensor fusion systems. Our approach is to let each sensor, or group of sensors, generate a set of hypotheses about targets and then examine the effects of various kinds of information exchange. We demonstrate our ideas on a three-target scenario with a variety of communication/computing configurations.
