Study on the performance of data fusion system for sonar signal detection
Min Xiang, Xianyi Gong · 声学学报(英文版) · 2000
The mathematical model and fusion algorithm for multisensor data fusion are presented, and applied to integrate the decisions obtained by multiple sonars in a distributed detection system. Assuming that all the sonars and the fusion system operate at the same false alarm probability, the expression for the detection probability of the fusion system is obtained. Computer simulations reveals that the detection probability and detection range of the fusion system are significantly improved compared to the original distributed detection system.
