傳感器數(shù)據(jù)融合：不僅僅是傳感器集成

　　傳感器融合不僅僅是各個部分的總和。這是硬件和軟件集成的不懈努力。本文著重介紹了傳感器進展中最近的一些進展，以及如何將硬件和軟件結合在一起工作良好。

　　首先，應該指出的是，術語“融合”和“傳感器融合”經(jīng)常互換，但實際上是不同的，就像下面的兩個定義，圖1是顯而易見的。1

　　傳感器融合：將感官數(shù)據(jù)或來自感官數(shù)據(jù)的數(shù)據(jù)相結合，使所得到的信息在某種程度上比單獨使用這些信息時更好。

　　多傳感器集成：通過系統(tǒng)完成任務的傳感器數(shù)據(jù)的協(xié)同使用。這不同于傳感器融合，傳感器融合包括實際的感官信息組合成一種代表性的格式。

　　The use of sensor fusion will continue to identify next-generation intelligent systems. Sensor fusion occurs when the system is able to make intelligent decisions， based on the input of multiple sensors that capture the data and use the captured information to create an enhanced and intelligent system. This integrated data provides for a means to achieve goals that are not achievable using a single sensor or series of single sensors.

　　The data combines to deliver information that is more accurate， complete， and precise， compared to data gathered in the absence of the volume and non-integrated sensors that were used in the past.
