Scope

The aim of Sensor Fusion and Machine Perception is to publish original research which addresses the scientific and engineering challenges of deriving meaningful information from: multiple sources of electronic inputs with differing modality, current knowledge and its interpretation, and trends and patterns learnt from historical observations; and converting the derived information into actionable intelligence to transform the behaviors of physical systems.

Information fusion, structured at data, feature or decision level, is important for synthesis of autonomous systems that are capable of robust, accurate, and enhanced perception of a physical process, than what would be possible from traditional single-source, single-sensor methods. We encourage submissions that advance machine intelligence beyond its current limitations via cross-sensory fusion to address complex societal problems including contextual interpretation of derived information, spatio-temporal situation awareness, and network learning.

Machine learning papers will also be considered provided they present advancements in the state-of-the-art methods for feature extraction, transfer learning, neural computing and classifier design, and/or their novel applications which lead to development of smart systems and societies. Perceptual user interfaces that add human understandable rendering of complex data sources and facilitate human-machine interactions are also of interest.

We welcome papers concerned with harnessing the potential of a data-rich world through advanced data-to-decision approaches with diverse applications including but not limited to:

• object classification
• target tracking
• distributed sensor networks
• surveillance and monitoring
• autonomous vehicles
• cyber-physical systems
• single/multi-sensor robot collaboration
• human-robot collaboration
• sensor-based path planning
• smart buildings and smart grids
• smart manufacturing systems
• smart networked infrastructures
• structural health monitoring
• fault diagnosis and prognosis
• geo-spatial analyses
• social networking, economy and humanities
• smart healthcare

Our ultimate goal is to accelerate and promote the progress in machine perception and cognition of sensed information.
