This volume presents a set of papers based on theproceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop onMultisensor Fusion for Computer Vision, held in Grenoble,France, in June 1989. The workshop focused on the fusion orintegration of sensor information to achieve the optimuminterpretation of a scene. The papers cover a broad range oftopics, including principles and issues in multisensorfusion, information fusion for navigation, multisensorfusion for object recognition, network approaches tomultisensor fusion, computer architectures for multisensorfusion, and applications of multisensor fusion. The authors have documented their own research and, in sodoing,have presented the state of the art in the field. Each author is a recognized leader in his or her area in theacademic, governmental, or industrial research community. Several contributors present novel points of view on theintegration of information. The book gives a representativepicture of current progress in multisensor fusion forcomputer vision among the leading research groups in Europeand North America.
