Tutorial 14 : Multisensor Data Fusion

A description on some of data fusion models and some applications to the next-generation car safety and driver assistance systems is given. An overview on the use of multisensor data fusion is discussed starting from the plain detection of multiple objects around a given host vehicle to inferring. These includes: the position and the speed of possible obstacles; the type of the objects in the road environment; the relative movement and distribution of obstacles over a given area; and finally, some possible suggestions for prompt and effective countermeasures are presented.
