Abstract

This paper presents a decentralized data fusion approach to perform cooperativeperception with data gathered from heterogeneous sensors, which canbe static or carried by robots. Particularly, a Decentralized Delayed-StateInformation Filter (DDSIF) is described, where full-state trajectories (thatis, delayed states) are considered to fuse the information. This approachallows obtaining an estimation equal to that provided by a centralized systemand reduces the impact of communications delays and latency into theestimation. The sparseness of the information matrix maintains the communicationoverhead at a reasonable level. The method is applied to cooperativetracking and some results in disaster management scenarios are shown. Inthis kind of scenarios the target might move in both open field and indoorareas, so fusion of data provided by heterogeneous sensors is beneficial. Thepaper also shows experimental results with real data and integrating severalsources of information.
