ABSTRACT

Data fusion has been important field of exploration, brought to light under the influence
of new technologies and the emerging need for information integration and knowledge
extraction from heterogeneous data sources. The main focus of this paper will be set
particularly on sensor data fusion. Our current focus is on designing and developing an
intelligent data fusion component for a Sensor Web based architecture that will enable
combining different environmental data into coherent information. For addressing the
problem efficiently we will give an overview of present data fusion models and then
incorporate the most appropriate model into existing Sensor Web based architecture -
GinisSense for monitoring environment and collecting environmental data. In this way
we will have an intelligent data fusion system. Furthermore we will explain in detail the
fusion process in GinisSense architecture and give an example of its usage.
