ABSTRACT:
A method and system for of fusing the outputs of multiple sensors. The output of each sensor including a sensor class probability vector based on each sensor's classification database is input to a fusion engine which estimates a base class probability vector based on the sensor class probabilities output by the sensors and a preconfigured base database including base classes.
