Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

The multimodal information can be assimilated at three levels 1) early fusion, 2) intermediate fusion, and 3) late fusion. Early fusion can be performed at the sensor or signal level. Intermediate fusion can be at the feature level, and late fusion may be done at the decision level. Apart from that, some more fusion techniques are rank-based, adaptive, etc. This chapter provides an extensive review of studies based on fusion and reported noticeable work herewith. Eventually, we discussed the challenges associated with multimodal fusion.
