Sensor fusion is completely different to multimodal integration, though to a casual observer they may seem similar. One is human perception, the other primarily robotic perception from what I can gather (not my field I'm afraid!). Sparkleyone 07:38, 19 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

keep 'em separate

Sensor fusion / Sensor Data fusion - is the computer driven fusion of disparate data into knowledge. This includes: Simple fusion of data from multiple sensors over an area to generate a common set of readings for an area. complex fusion of multiple sensor to generate and identify "items" in the sensed area as being something.

A few paper citations have been missed here. For example, the intro paragraph is *very* familiar to (B.V. Dasarathy, Dynetics, Inc)

Also, the JDL Model of data fusion paper should be cited in the levels section - F.E. White, Managing data fusion system in joint and coalition warfare, in: Proceedings of the European Conference on Data Fusion, Malvern, UK, 1998, pp. 49–52.

I don't know enough about the topic to know if these proposed citations are the 'original' papers that the respective ideas come from, so I am hesitant to put these in the article w/o verifying that first. 24.127.43.175 (talk) 00:09, 20 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

In the section on Applications, source twelve is titled "Flight-Test Evaluation of Sensor Fusion Algorithms for Attitude Estimation" from an IEEE journal. The text that cites this source talks about figuring out "altitude." While altitude can most likely be determined using sensor fusion of GPS and an INS, the attitude (Roll/Pitch/Yaw) is much easier and is what the cited source is discussing.

The section on Centralized versus decentralized claims that "multiple combinations of centralized and decentralized systems exist." Are there examples of varying levels of centralization in the sources listed for this article? This statement is ambiguous.

What are the "Levels" used for? Who uses them? The US military? Research groups? It's not clear from the article text what the context for levels 0-5 are. Andrewkaster (talk) 04:53, 23 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure what this has to do with the article, so moved it to talk page:

Sensory fusion is simply defined as the unification of visual excitations from corresponding retinal images into a single visual perception a single visual image. Single vision is the hallmark of retinal correspondence. Double vision is the hallmark of retinal disparity.

The citations in this article seem to be disproportionately oriented toward gait analysis. It'd probably improve if some more diverse applications were to be covered. (Nothing's wrong with this, per se, just making a note here in case I decide to do a run of expansions later on). jp×g
