IFFMSA 2013 - Special Session on Information Fusion for Fixed and Mobile Surveillance Applications

Advanced systems in the surveillance application domain complement the use of fixed sensors with mobile platforms (UGV and UAV). Such mobile platforms, being endowed with limited or advanced capabilities will contribute to novel systems to provide more comprehensive solutions with more modalities jointly working to provide the user with an intelligent monitoring system. Applications may vary greatly, depending on whether they are targeted for civilian or military domains, they depend on the amount, type and level of sophistication of the sensors and on the topology of deployment, whether static fixed, or dynamic and reconfigurable, if UGV and UAV platforms are deployed in support of the fixed system.
