This paper presents a novel model of potentiometric sensors sensitive to ions of valency one and two such as H+, K+, Na+, NH4+, Mg+, SO4-, NO3-, Cl- appearing in environmental water resources. The proposed models are based on the physical description by Van den Berg and behavioral description by Nikolsky and Eisenmann for ion-selective membranes. The elaborated models are applicable for data fusion algorithms which may be useful in the EU FP6 WARMER project dedicated to a system for water pollution risk management.

Multisensorfusion and integration is a rapidly evolving research area and requires interdisciplinary knowledge in control theory, signal processing, artificial intelligence, probability and statistics, etc. The advantages gained through the use of redundant, complementary, or more timely information in a system can provide more reliable and accurate information. This paper provides an overview of current sensor technologies and describes the paradigm of multisensorfusion algorithms and applications of multisensorfusion in localization and tracking, robotics, identification and classification, vehicle sensing, and so on. Finally, future research directions of multisensorfusion technologies including microsensors, smart sensors, and adaptive fusion techniques are presented.

This paper addresses the method of environment recognition specialized for biped walking robot. Biped walking robot should have the ability to autonomously recognize its surrounding environment and make right decisions in corresponding to its situation. In the realization of the vision system for biped walking robot, two algorithms have been largely suggested, they are;object detection system with unknown objects, and obstacle recognition system. By using the techniques mentioned above, a biped walking robot becomes to be available to autonomously move and execute various user-assigned tasks in an unknown environment. From the results of experiments, the proposed environment recognition system can be said highly available to be applied to biped walking robot walking and operated in the real world.

Two novel fusion predictors for linear dynamic systems with different types of observations are proposed. They are formed by summing of the local Kalman filters/predictors with matrix weights depending only on time instants. The relationships between them and the optimal Kalman predictor are discussed. High accuracy and computational efficiency of the fusion predictors are demonstrated on the first-order Markov process and the GMTI with multisensor environment.

In this paper, we present algorithms for in-situ calibration of sensor networks for distributed detection in the parallel fusion architecture. The wireless sensors act as local detectors and transmit preliminary detection results to an access point or fusion center for decision combining. In order to implement an optimal fusion center, both the performance parameters of each local detector (i.e., its probability of false alarm and probability of miss) as well as the wireless channel conditions must be known. However, in real-world applications these statistics may be unknown or vary in time. In our approach, the fusion center receives a collection of labeled samples from the sensor nodes after deployment of the network and calibrates the impact of individual sensors on the final detection result. In the case that local sensor decisions are independent, we employ maximum likelihood parameter estimation techniques, whereas in the case of arbitrarily correlated sensor outputs, we use the method of kernel smoothing. The obtained fusion rules are both asymptotically optimal and show good performance for finite sample sizes.

Although a great deal of research effort has been focused on the forward prediction of the dispersion of contaminants (e.g., chemical and biological warfare agents) released into the turbulent atmosphere, much less work has been directed toward the inverse prediction of agent source location and strength from the measured concentration, even though the importance of this problem for a number of practical applications is obvious. In general, the inverse problem of source reconstruction is ill-posed and unsolvable without additional information. It is demonstrated that a Bayesian probabilistic inferential framework provides a natural and logically consistent method for source reconstruction from a limited number of noisy concentration data. In particular, the Bayesian approach permits one to incorporate prior knowledge about the source as well as additional information regarding both model and data errors. The latter enables a rigorous determination of the uncertainty in the inference of the source parameters (e.g., spatial location, emission rate, release time, etc.), hence extending the potential of the methodology as a tool for quantitative source reconstruction. A model (or, source-receptor relationship) that relates the source distribution to the concentration data measured by a number of sensors is formulated, and Bayesian probability theory is used to derive the posterior probability density function of the source parameters. A computationally efficient methodology for determination of the likelihood function for the problem, based on an adjoint representation of the source-receptor relationship, is described. Furthermore, we describe the application of efficient stochastic algorithms based on Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) for sampling from the posterior distribution of the source parameters, the latter of which is required to undertake the Bayesian computation. The Bayesian inferential methodology for source reconstruction is validated against real dispersio

In wireless sensor networks (WSN), nodes operate on batteries and network's lifetime depends on energy consumption of the nodes. Consider the class of sensor networks where all nodes sense a single phenomenon at different locations and send messages to a fusion center (FC) in order to estimate the actual information. In classical systems all data processing tasks are done in the FC and there is no processing or compression before transmission. In the proposed algorithm, network is divided into clusters and data processing is done in two parts. The first part is performed in each cluster at the sensor nodes after local data sharing and the second part will be done at the fusion center after receiving all messages from clusters. Local data sharing results in more efficient data transmission in terms of number of bits. We also take advantage of having the same copy of data at all nodes of each cluster and suggest a virtual multiple-input multiple-output (V-MIMO) architecture for data transmission from clusters to the FC. A Virtual-MIMO network is a set of distributed nodes each having one antenna. By sharing their data among themselves, these nodes turn into a classical MIMO system. In the previously proposed cooperative/virtual MIMO architectures there has not been any data processing or compression in the conference phase. We modify the existing V-MIMO algorithms to suit the specific class of sensor networks that is of our concern. We use orthogonal space-time block codes (STBC) for MIMO part and by simulation show that this algorithm saves considerable energy compared to classical systems.

In this paper, an overview is given of how the path from vision to motion has been developed in the TechUnited team. The vision module includes: (i) color calibration using a union of convex hulls to select an area in the 3D-colorspace, (ii) automatic calibration of the mapping from the camera image to the field via a genetic algorithm, (iii) self localization based on field lines. The output of the vision module is used by the motion module which includes: (i) vision and encoder sensorfusion by monitoring the drift caused by odometry, (ii) generating a motion path complying with the robot's limitations to prevent wheel slippage, (iii) collocated motion control. In contrast to closing the loop on vision, our approach uses wheel encoders as the basis for motion control, which has several advantages such as less delay due to a higher sampling frequency. Vision is only used to compensate for slow drift caused by slip in the wheel-surface contact.
