Performance evaluation of a fusion system devoted to image interpretation

Abstract

The use of fusion systems has known a wide growth and they now need reliable ways to evaluate their performance. Fusion systems are complex because they involve a complete information treatment chain (from the information extraction to the decision). This paper studies the different approaches used for system evaluation and proposes a local evaluation method for the evaluation of each subpart of the fusion system. The approach is then illustrated on cooperative fusion system devoted to 3D image interpretation. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
