Abstract

For the last two years at this conference, we have described the implementation of a unified, scientific approach to performance measurement for data fusion algorithms based on FINITE-SET STATISTICS (FISST). FISST makes it possible to directly extend Shannon-type information metrics to multisource, multitarget problems. In previous papers we described application of information Measures of Effectiveness (MoEs) to multisource-multitarget data fusion and to non-distributed sensor management. In this follow-on paper we show how to generalize this work to DISTRIBUTED sensor management and ADAPTIVE DATA FUSION.
