A study on human integration of audiovisual spatial information for multi-sensor fusion technology

Abstract

Much knowledge has been gained on how human brains are activated on audiovisual integration. However, few data were acquired about effects of spatial information in audiovisual integration. The integration of audiovisual spatial information was investigated using behavioral measures in humans in two experiments which were designed to separate out spatial information from audiovisual integration. The results showed the integration of spatial information promoted the behavioral responses, which offered base data for multi-sensor data fusion algorithms and robotics. © 2012 Springer-Verlag GmbH.
