An individual sensor's information output is often insufficient for an application, with ambiguities that require refinement or corroboration by fusion with information from other sensors. Fusion of multiple information sources is performed to create an information product of higher quality of information (QoI) that supports more effective intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR). In this paper we present an approach to determining the QoI attributes (metadata) relevant to tracking and classification ...
In the highly heterogeneous environments of coalition operations, sharing sensor-originated information with desired quality characteristics is key to the effective execution of coalition tasks. A characterization of the quality of information (QoI) is useful in many contexts and can be invaluable in making decisions such as trusting managing, and using information in particular applications. However, the manner of representing the QoI is highly application-dependent. This leads to divergent QoI characterizations ...
