Data fusion is an important function of all intelligent vehicle highway systems (IVHS) components. Raw data on traffic conditions are received from various sources, in several formats, and at different time intervals. The goal of data fusion is to combine such data into meaningful inferences about traffic conditions. But it is quite common for these input data to have inconsistencies, uncertainties, and a lack of completeness. Applying binary logic and Bayes decision theory is inappropriate because some contradictions and only partial information are typically present in the input data. This paper presents an alternative approach to data fusion using a fuzzy-valued logic generalized from Belnap's four valued logic.
A corner is modelled as the intersection of two lines. A corner point is that point on an input digital arc whose a posteriori probability of being a corner is the maximum among all the points on the arc. The performa...

A corner is modelled as the intersection of two lines. A corner point is that point on an input digital arc whose a posteriori probability of being a corner is the maximum among all the points on the arc. The performance of the corner detector is characterized by its false alarm rate, misdetection rate, and the corner location error all as a function of the noise variance, the included corner angle, and the arc length. Theoretical expressions for the quantities compare well with experimental results.< >

In support of research efforts to develop reactive mobile robots capable of autonomous navigation, we are concentrating on providing human reasoning capabilities as a resource for intelligence and integrating the world mapping and navigation tasks. The underlying philosophy is that an autonomous mobile robot should be able to make a map of its environment as it navigates through that environment. Fuzzy logic control and behavior-based navigation are proposed as means to implement this philosophy. Fuzzy logic provides the approximate reasoning necessary for handling the uncertainty inherent in mobile robot navigation. By decomposing the problem into simpler tasks we can develop mobile robots that exhibit a sufficient level of intelligence for performing navigation and mapping. In this paper, we discuss a strategy for incorporating fuzzy reasoning into the framework of reactive behavior control systems for autonomous mapping.< >

The results of employing neural network classification of states (NNCS) in finite state vector quantisation (FSVQ) are presented. In addition to intrablock correlation, already exploited by vector quantisation (VQ), the new design takes advantage of the interblock spatial correlation in typical grey-level images. The main achievement of FSVQ techniques is to assure access to a large master codebook for quantising purposes, thus achieving high image quality, while utilising a small state codebook for the purpose of specifying the block label, thus utilising low bit rates. Typically, FSVQ techniques require a very large memory space for the storage of the numerous state codebooks. However, with NNCS the memory space requirements can be reduced by a large factor (about 10(2)-10(3)) to manageable size, with little or no impairment of image quality, in comparison to FSVQ. This is accomplished by a neural network classification of finite states into representation states, whose associated states all share the same codebook. This codebook is populated by the most frequently occurring codevectors in the representation state. Numerical and pictorial results of simulation experiments are presented for the image LENA. They show that by using NNCS the required bit rate is about 0.25 bits/pixel at 30 dB peak SNR resulting in high quality reconstructed imagery, while the memory requirement is reduced by a factor of 256.

The performance of a geteway which connects the CEBus to the ISDN has been investigated. The gateway handles three priority class messages for either direction. Message and channel throughputs and packet and message delays have been studied in terms of the offered load for intra-network traffic in the CEBus and internetwork traffic from the CEBus to the ISDN through the gateway. It has been found that delay for internetwork traffic for any priority level is much higher than that for intra-network traffic. In light traffic load, the delay for the ISDN to the CEBus direction is lower than that for the opposite direction. This was seen to reverse in heavy loads. In addition, significant decline of throughput was found, under the condition of large propagation delay, for all three priorities of internetwork traffic. Under favorable conditions, i.e., for low or zero propagation delay, packet length in the range of 300 to 500 bits, and light traffic, less than 70% of offered load (including inter-network traffic via the gateway), the CEBus-Gateway-ISDN system performs satisfactorily.

A performance evaluation has been carried out by simulation experiments for a three priority CEBus router handling traffic between the PL and TP media. The message and channel throughput, and message and packet delay have been studied for a wide range of offered traffic loads. The router has behaved well, according to message priority. The inter-network traffic has showed larger delay than intra-network traffic.
