ABSTRACT:
Each of multiple probability distribution outputting units computes a probability distribution of a data value detected by the corresponding sensor or algorithm in an image recognition processing or the like. The respective probability distributions of the multiple probability distribution outputting units are given as outputs to a synthetic determination processing unit. Data formats of the outputs to the synthetic determination processing unit can be thereby standardized. Hence, the synthetic determination processing unit is exempted from considering which type of sensor or algorithm each of the outputs is based upon. Even when a sensor or algorithm is added or changed, the same data-fusing algorithm in the synthetic determination processing unit can be uniformly used.
