  • Abstract
    We study the fusion of data collected by multiple heterogeneous sensors that work cooperatively to achieve a common goal. The paper presents fast algorithms to fuse the sensor data. We map the problem into a graphical model and then develop a fast message-passing scheme to fuse the data. We simulate scenarios with 150 sensors and 200 targets that are successfully fused.
