Data fusion for reconstruction algorithms via different sensors in geophysical sensing

Nordebo, Sven LU ; Gustafsson, Mats LU orcid and Soldovieri, Francesco (2011) In Journal of Geophysics and Engineering 8(3). p.54-60
Abstract
Abstract in Undetermined
Information fusion via multimodal inverse problems and different sensors is addressed using a Fisher information analysis approach. The Fisher information measure is inherently additive, and it facilitates an appropriate weighting of the measurement data that is statistically optimal and can hence be useful with reconstruction algorithms in geophysical sensing. Given that there exists proper knowledge about the sensor noise statistics, correlations and spectral contents, as well as a correct forward model, the Fisher information is a natural measure of information because it is closely linked to the statistical maximum likelihood principle. To illustrate the concept of data correlation based on statistical... (More)

Given that there exists proper knowledge about the sensor noise statistics, correlations and spectral contents, as well as a correct forward model, the Fisher information is a natural measure of information because it is closely linked to the statistical maximum likelihood principle. To illustrate the concept of data correlation based on statistical Fisher information analysis, two simple and generic examples are employed in electrical resistivity and electromagnetic tomography, which are motivated by geophysical applications, such as tunnel detection. The examples demonstrate that a properly weighted data fusion can be of crucial importance for an ill-posed multimodal inverse problem. (Less)
