Abstract

This paper presents a decentralized data fusionapproach to perform cooperative perception with data gatheredfrom heterogeneous sensors, which can be static or carried byrobots. Particularly, a Decentralized Delayed-State ExtendedInformation Filter (DDSEIF) is described, where full statetrajectories are considered to fuse the information. This permitsto obtain an estimation equal to that obtained by a centralizedsystem, and allows delays and latency in the communications.The sparseness of the information matrix maintains the communicationsoverhead at a reasonable level. The method isapplied to cooperative tracking and some results in disastermanagement scenarios are shown. In this kind of scenarios thetarget might move in both open field and indoor areas, so fusionof data provided by heterogeneous sensors is beneficial.
