Abstract

A universal system for evaluation of sensor fusion algorithms has been developed and validated with biomedical data. The implemented algorithms perform the association, correlation, and combination of information from single and multiple sensors and provide the capability to design and simulate the process of multisensor integration. Additional soft computing components enable the system to operate on symbolic, logical and numerical data. For hardware-in-the-loop tests the program is able to acquire data by analog-to-digital converters and an universal digital interface
