多传感器数据融合或分布式感应技术是用来将多种相异的传感器和源数据复合起来,以便对事件、活动、事态作出推论的一种相对较新的工程规则。这些系统通常被作为人类的认知过程.在这个过程中,大脑融合来自各个感官的感觉信息、评估状态、进而作出决断。 数据融合技术最显著的应用是它已经被用在军事上,例如:战场监视和战术状态评估。并且它也已经运用在商业上.比如机器人技术、制造业、医疗诊断、遥感。 Multisensor data fusion or distributed sensing is a relatively new engineering rule used to compound many disparate sensor and source data to make inferences about events, activities, and events. These systems are often used as human cognitive processes, in which the brain integrates sensory information from various senses, assesses status, and makes decisions. The most significant application of data fusion technology is that it has been used in the military, for example: battlefield surveillance and tactical status assessment. And it has also been used commercially, such as robotics, manufacturing, medical diagnostics, remote sensing.
