METHOD, DEVICE AND SYSTEM FOR THE FUSION OF INFORMATION ORIGINATING FROM SEVERAL SENSORS

The invention relates to a method, device and system for fusion of information originating from several sensors. The invention includes a mechanism for fusion of belief functions. To apply this mechanism, various information, knowledge and operations are modelled within the framework of the theory of belief functions: information provided by the sensors, knowledge regarding the propensity of the sensors to be in a given operating state, and merge operators for each operating state considered.
