The Canada-Netherlands collaboration on multisensor data fusion and other Canada-NATO MSDF activities
Éloi Bossé, Joyjit Roy · 2002
This paper describes a collaborative effort between Canada and The Netherlands in analyzing multi-sensor data fusion systems. In view of the overlapping interest in studying and comparing applicability and performance of advanced state-of-the-art multi-sensor data fusion (MSDF) techniques, the two research establishments involved (DREV and TNO/FEL) have decided to join their efforts in the development of MSDF testbeds. This resulted in the Joint-FACET (Fusion Algorithms and Concepts Exploration Testbed), a highly modular and flexible series of applications that is capable of processing both real and synthetic input data. In addition to the bilateral collaboration with The Netherlands, this paper presents a survey of the other Canadian MSDF activities conducted under NATO Research Study Groups.
