Noack, B. (author), Sijs, J. (author), Reinhardt, M. (author), Hanebeck, U.D. (author)In distributed and decentralized state estimation systems, fusion methods are employed to systematically combine multiple estimates of the state into a single, more accurate estimate. An often encountered problem in the fusion process relates to unknown common information that is shared by the estimates to be fused and is responsible for...article 2017

Hogervorst, M.A. (author), Toet, A. (author)Previously, we presented two color mapping methods for the application of daytime colors to fused nighttime (e.g., intensified and longwave infrared or thermal (LWIR)) imagery. These mappings not only impart a natural daylight color appearance to multiband nighttime images but also enhance their contrast and the visibility of otherwise obscured...article 2017

Elfring, J. (author), Appeldoorn, R. (author), Kwakkernaat, M. (author)This work focuses on vehicle automation applications that require both the estimation of kinematic and geometric information of surrounding vehicles, e.g., automated overtaking or merging. Rather then using one sensor that is able to estimate a vehicle's geometry from each sensor frame, e.g., a lidar, a multisensor simultaneous vehicle tracking...conference paper 2016

Bijlsma, T. (author), Kwakkernaat, M. (author), Mnatsakanyan, M. (author)Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) become standard and sometimes mandatory for vehicles, e.g. autonomous emergency braking. Future vehicles will include multiple ADAS that assist with safety-critical operations. For efficiency and effectiveness, these ADAS should share resources, information and functionalities. Additionally, ADAS...conference paper 2015

Wang, Y. (author), Kostić, D. (author), Jansen, S.T.H. (author), Nijmeijer, H. (author)The use of redundant sensors brings a rich diversity of information, nevertheless fusing different sensors that run at vastly different frequencies into a proper estimate is still a challenging sensor fusion problem. Instead of using the size-varying measurements and thereby the size-varying filters during each sampling period, we propose to...conference paper 2014

Real-time tracking and fast retrieval of persons in multiple surveillance cameras of a shopping mallBouma, H. (author), Baan, J. (author), Landsmeer, S. (author), Kruszynski, K.J. (author), van Antwerpen, G. (author), Dijk, J. (author)The capability to track individuals in CCTV cameras is important for e.g. surveillance applications at large areas such as train stations, airports and shopping centers. However, it is laborious to track and trace people over multiple cameras. In this paper, we present a system for real-time tracking and fast interactive retrieval of persons in...conference paper 2013

Lefter, I. (author), Burghouts, G.J. (author), Rothkrantz, L.J.M. (author)We propose a new method for audio-visual sensor fusion and apply it to automatic aggression detection. While a variety of definitions of aggression exist, in this paper we see it as any kind of behavior that has a disturbing effect on others. We have collected multi- and unimodal assessments by humans, who have given aggression scores on a 3...conference paper 2012
