SIGNAL PROCESSING AND POST-PROCESSING ENHANCEMENTS USING FIS

A REMOTE ROBOTIC SENSING DEVICE ENVIRONMENT CONSISTS OF IMPARTING PROCESSES, PHYSICAL EQUIPMENT, MACHINES AND COMPUTERS, AS WELL AS OTHER GENERAL PURPOSE DEVICES USED FOR MAKING INTELLIGENT DECISIONS IN ENVIRONMENTS AND SITUATIONS RANGING FROM BOTH SINGLE TO COMPLEX. A COMPLEX ROBOTIC SENSOR SYSTEM CAN BE THOUGHT OF AS A CLASSICAL FEEDBACK/CONTROL LOOP. AS THE MONITORING SYSTEM IS PRESENTED WITH PHENOMENA THAT MAY RANGE FROM SLIGHT ABNORMALLY TO POTENTIAL CATASTROPHIC, THE SYSTEM MUST DETECT AND WARN THROUGH FEEDBACK. WITHIN THE FEEDBACK/CONTROL LOOP, WE PROPOSE TWO ELEMENTS BOTH SMALL AND FAST ENOUGH TO OPERATE IN REAL TIME CALLED PROVIDER AND DECIDER. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROVIDER/DECIDER ENTITY IS TO ACCEPT INPUTS FROM MULTIPLE SENSORS, PERFORM SIGNAL FUSION AND MAKE DECISIONS ON ACTION OR INACTION. THE PROVIDER/DECIDER TECHNIQUE PROPOSAL IS KNOWN AS FINITE INDUCTIVE SEQUENCES (FIS) PROCESSING. THIS TECHNIQUE IS AN AI SYSTEM WITH IMPORTANT AND FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCES THAT ALLOW NEW CAPABILITIES TO SENSOR FUSION. FIS IS A PROPRIETARY SYSTEM DEVELOPED AND OWNED BY CIS.
