Combining multiple sensors in order to better grasp a tricky, or even critical, situation is an innate human reflex. Indeed, humans became aware, very early on, of the need to combine several of our senses so as to acquire a better understanding of our surroundings when major issues are at stake. On the basis of this need, we have naturally sought to equip ourselves with various kinds of artificial sensors to enhance our perceptive faculties. The association of multiple heterogeneous sensors provides a reliable and efficient situation assessment in difficult operational contexts, but imperfect local observations need to be managed in a suitable way (uncertainty, imprecision, incompleteness, unreliability, etc.). The theories of uncertainty make it possible to benefit from such information, but the implementation of these theories requires specific developments to meet the needs of multisensor data fusion.
