This paper describes a scheme of fusing image sensors and radar sensors. The peformance of an optimum fusion algorithm for a parallel configuration is analyzed. Then, an algorithm which fuses target attributes from multiple sensors is presented. The proposed scheme extracts salient features out of sensor data obtained from multi-spectral infrared sensors and a synthetic aperture radar. The detection of a target is based on a Bayes linear classifier that computes the distance between the fused attributes of a target and the pre-stored target signature data.
