Sequential decision fusion: theory and applications
Venugopal V. Veeravalli · Journal of the Franklin Institute · 1999
A decision fusion problem is considered in which each one of a set of sensors receives a sequence of observations about the state of the system. The observations are quantized at each time step and sent to the fusion center where a binary decision is to be made at a stopping time. Applications of this problem setting are discussed and techniques for finding optimal solutions are presented.
