Designing Patterns for Multimodal Fusion
This paper presents a
design of an architecture that facilitates the work of a fusion engine.
The logical combination or merging of input streams invoked by the
fusion engine is based upon the definition of a set of patterns and its
similarity with previously collected data from various modalities.
Previous fusion engine designs had many weaknesses, among them their
being specialized on a specific domain of application. The proposed
architecture addresses such weakness and provides additional features,
namely its ability to handle large number of modalities and due to its
using knowledge base and standardization characteristics; it becomes
suitable to various types of multimodal systems. The techniques used to
achieve these features are discussed in this paper.
