Location data fusion based on group consensus

摘要

A new method of multi-sensor location data fusion is proposed. The method is based on group consensus approach, which constructs group utility function (or its density) based on uncertainty of each sensor, and the location estimation is obtained based on the group utility function (or its density). The simulation results show that the method is better than those of mean and median estimation, and outliter and sensor failure can not affect the location estimation.
