In this paper, we present a modular architecture for embedded sensorial-fusion systems. Each sensor is a task of a real-time operating system, whose core is a Deadline Monotonic scheduler. The scheduler decides if the sensor set is admissible or not, according to user-specified deadlines. Additionally, it monitors sensor behavior to check if the user model was correct and to characterize deadlines precisely (to be considered in future sensor changes/additions). We present a real development based on our concept: a low-cost platform that combines the contributions of an hyperspectrometer and a series of positioning sensors, which track the movements of the carrier vehicle.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
