[mod.ai] AI for Multisensor Fusion

guy@enstb.enst-bretagne.fr (Didier guy) (09/25/90)

	Hello,

I am currently working about multisensor fusion applied to autonomous
navigation of airborne vehicles. The problem here is to recognize
accuratly an outdoor scene, so as to be able to find it on a symbolic
map of the ground.

My approach is symbolic sensor fusion (IR and radar sensors):
	* how to fuse the data of those two sensors to make a good
	description of the scene?
	* how to use the a priori knowledge given by the map: we know
	what kind of objects we want to recognize (houses, roads, plants,...)
	
Are there people working on this who could contact me to give me
references or technical reports? I have yet many articles about 
sensor fusion, but it seems they are about a military subject that
cannot be fully developped. So if you know something worth to be
noticed....

	Many thanks.
