Thank you to the authors for participating and to the reviewers for their valuable input. We very much hope to have been able to convey our enthusiasm for the use of Signal Processing in the development of fusion theory and in practical applications.

Scope of the Book

Knowledge extraction and information fusion have long be studied in various areas of computer science, and the number of applications for this class of techniques has been steadily growing. Since features and other parameters that describe a process under consideration are extracted directly from the data, it is natural to ask ourselves whether we can use signal processing techniques for this purpose.
The use of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) techniques has tremendous potential in this context, since DSP techniques are well equipped for problems where noise, uncertainty and complexity play major roles. This synergy of knowledge extraction and statistical signal processing is still under- explored, but with tremendous potential and is a subject of this edited book.
This book therefore aims at bringing together latest research achievements from various areas of signal processing and related disciplines in order to consolidate the existing and propose new directions in DSP based knowledge extraction and information fusion.
