Abstract
We present a multiple hypothesis testing method for multisensor systems. Generalizing previous work by Wang et al. (1996, 1998) from binary hypothesis testing to multiple hypotheses testing, we re-partition the decision space for multiple hypotheses problems and offer a third decision option to increase the decision flexibility and reflect reality. The set of optimal decision rules is derived for multisensor systems with a fusion center. System performance can also be quantified. A numerical example is given to illustrate the proposed method
