Information fusion in wireless sensor networks
Eduardo Freire Nakamura, Antônio A. F. Loureiro · 2008
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are commonly treated as a distributed database system that is accessed by means of a query language. However, the computation of such queries are usually performed by information fusion techniques. Information fusion has been used by applications to detect/classify events, track targets, and filter noisy measurements. In this tutorial, we discuss some of the information fusion techniques that are currently used in WSNs.
