The linear opinion pool (LinOP) provides a potential solution to the problem of information fusion. However, the LinOP cannot be directly applied to multi-object fusion since the resulting fused multi-object density, in general, no longer belongs to the same family of the local ones, thus it cannot be utilized as prior informa- tion for the next recursion in Bayesian multi-object filtering. In this letter, by showing that the LinOP is actually the one that leads to minimum information loss (MIL), we propose to find the fused multi-object density that has the same form as the local ones and, at the same time, leads to MIL. The performance of MIL fusion is then compared with the one of the well-known generalized covariance intersection (GCI) fusion via simulations.

Abstract
The linear opinion pool (LinOP) provides a potential solution to the problem of information fusion. However, the LinOP cannot be directly applied to multi-object fusion since the resulting fused multi-object density, in general, no longer belongs to the same family of the local ones, thus it cannot be utilized as prior informa- tion for the next recursion in Bayesian multi-object filtering. In this letter, by showing that the LinOP is actually the one that leads to minimum information loss (MIL), we propose to find the fused multi-object density that has the same form as the local ones and, at the same time, leads to MIL. The performance of MIL fusion is then compared with the one of the well-known generalized covariance intersection (GCI) fusion via simulations.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
