Data fusion, the ability to combine data derived fromseveral sources to provide a coherent, informative, anduseful characterization of a situation,is a challengingtask. There is no unified and proven solution which isapplicable in all circumstances, but there are manyplausible and useful approaches which can be and are used tosolve particular applications. This volume presents the proceedings of the workshop DataFusion Applications hosted in Brussels by the 1992 ESPRITConference and Exhibition. It contains 22 papers from 69experts,who present advanced research results on datafusion together with practicalsolutions to multisensor datafusion in a wide variety of applications: real-time expertsystems, robotics, medical diagnosis and patientsurveillance, monitoring and control, marine protection,surveillance and safety in public transportation systems,image processing and interpretation, and environmentalmonitoring. The research forms part of the ESPRIT projectDIMUS (Data Integration in Multisensor Systems).
