Dempster-Shafer(D-S) evidence theory has been widely used in multisensor data fusion to deal with uncertain information. But unreasonable results may be produced by using D-S combination rule in the case of that data are conflicting with each other. This paper proposes a modified evidence combination method based on information gain and fuzzy preference relations. This method takes account of both historical data and real-time data by introducing the concepts of historical support and realtime support, so it can obtain more accurate results by using more effective information. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed evidence combination method, an example of classifying the patient's state by five vital signs is given in this paper. The simulation experiment shows that the proposed modified method achieves higher classification accuracy compared with other three datafusion methods.

Increasing the number of inspection sources creates an opportunity to combine information in order to properly set the operation of the entire system, not only in terms of such factors as reliability, confidence, or accuracy, but inspection time as well. In this paper, a magnetic sensor-array-based nondestructive system was applied to inspect defects inside circular-shaped steel elements. The experiments were carried out for various sensor network strategies, followed by the fusion of multisensordata for each case. In order to combine the measurements, first data registration and then four algorithms based on spatial and transformed representations of sensor signals were applied. In the case of spatial representation, the data were combined using an algorithm operating directly on input signals, allowing pooling of information. To build the transformed representation, a multiresolution analysis based on the Laplacian pyramid was used. Finally, the quality of the obtained results was assessed. The details of algorithms are given and the results are presented and discussed. It is shown that the application of datafusion rules for magnetic multisensor inspection systems can result in the growth of reliability of proper identification and classification of defects in steel elements depending on the utilized configuration of the sensor network.

These days, the most important areas of research in many different applications, with different tools, are focused on how to get awareness. One of the serious applications is the awareness of the behavior and activities of patients. The importance is due to the need of ubiquitous medical care for individuals. That the doctor knows the patient's physical condition, sometimes is very important. Of course, there are other important applications for this information. There are a variety of methods and tools for measurement, gathering, and analysis of the physical behaviors and activities' information. One of the most successful tools for this aim are ubiquitous intelligent electronic devices, specifically smartphones, and smart watches. There are many sensors in these devices, some of which can be used to understand the activities of daily living. As an output result, these sensors produce many raw data. Thus, it is needed to process these information and recognize the individual behavior of the output of this processing. In this paper, the basic components of the analysis phase for this process have been proposed. Simulations validate the benefits and superiority of this method.

The paradigm of multisensor data fusion has been evolved from a centralized architecture to a decentralized or distributed architecture along with the advancement in sensor and communication technologies. These days, distributed state estimation and datafusion has been widely explored in diverse fields of engineering and control due to its superior performance over the centralized one in terms of flexibility, robustness to failure and cost effectiveness in infrastructure and communication. However, distributed multisensor data fusion is not without technical challenges to overcome: namely, dealing with cross-correlation and inconsistency among state estimates and sensor data. In this paper, we review the key theories and methodologies of distributed multisensor data fusion available to date with a specific focus on handling unknown correlation and data inconsistency. We aim at providing readers with a unifying view out of individual theories and methodologies by presenting a formal analysis of their implications. Finally, several directions of future research are highlighted.

A method for automatic determination of sensors positions and orientations in multisensor laser triangulation coordinate measuring systems is presented. Based on a series of measurements on a conical artifact without the use of external light sources, the approach allows for both optimized adjustment of the physical sensors alignment and improved 3D data registration by software. Simulations were conducted to quantify the sensitivity of the method. Experimental results based on measurements of steep details of complex shaped parts show a 5-times reduction of deviations between measurements of sensors with respect to an already optimized adjustment by manual methods.

Radar emitter classification is a special application of data clustering for classifying unknown radar emitters in airborne electronic support system. In this paper, a novel online multisensor data fusion framework is proposed for radar emitter classification under the background of network centric warfare. The framework is composed of local processing and multisensorfusion processing, from which the rough and precise classification results are obtained, respectively. What is more, the proposed algorithm does not need prior knowledge and training process;it can dynamically update the number of the clusters and the cluster centers when new pulses arrive. At last, the experimental results show that the proposed framework is an efficacious way to solve radar emitter classification problem in networked warfare.

Freeway traffic state information from multiple sources provides sufficient support to the traffic surveillance but also brings challenges. This paper made an investigation into the fusion of a new data combination from cellular handoff probe system and microwave sensors. And a fusion method based on the neural network technique was proposed. To identify the factors influencing the accuracy of fusion results, we analyzed the sensitivity of those factors by changing the inputs of neural- network- based fusion model. The results showed that handoff link length and sample size were identified as the most influential parameters to the precision of fusion. Then, the effectiveness and capability of proposed fusion method under various traffic conditions were evaluated. And a comparative analysis between the proposed method and other fusion approaches was conducted. The results of simulation test and evaluation showed that the fusion method could complement the drawback of each collection method, improve the overall estimation accuracy, adapt to the variable traffic condition (free flow or incident state), suit the fusion of data from cellphone probes and fixed sensors, and outperform other fusion methods.

With the advances in sensor technology, data mining techniques and the internet, information and communication technology further motivates the development of smart systems such as intelligent transportation systems, smart utilities and smart grid. With the availability of low cost sensors, there is a growing focus on multi-sensor datafusion (MSDF). Internet of Things (IoT) is currently connecting more than 9 billion devices. IoT includes the connectivity of smart things which focuses more on the interactions and interoperations between things and people. Key problem in IoT middleware is to develop efficient decision level intelligent mechanisms. Therefore, we focus on IoT middleware using context-aware mechanism. To get automated inferences of the surrounding environment, context-aware concept is adopted by computing world in combination with datafusion. We conduct a comprehensive review on context awareness for MSDF in IoT and discuss the future directions in the area of context-aware computing.
