The Design of Component Level Software Architecture for Multi-Sensor Data Fusion System

Abstract:

Through investigating the architecture of multi-sensor data fusion system, a universal software architecture which can be used in distributed multi-radar fusion systems is proposed in this paper. In this architecture, functionally independent modules will be extracted from system, it will be standardized as components by object-oriented techniques, and the interface specifications of all the modules are also specified. Aiming at the different objects, system flow and modules can be framed quickly by selecting or expanding proper components based on different scenes feature and object properties. The architecture improves software reusability and scalability, and is propitious to increase software development efficiency.
