Abstract
Bias estimation of sensors is an essential prerequisite for accurate data fusion. Neglect of temporal bias in general real systems prevents the existing algorithms from successful application. In this paper, both spatial and temporal biases in asynchronous multisensor systems are investigated and two novel methods for simultaneous spatiotemporal bias compensation and data fusion are presented. The general situation that the sensors sample at different times with different and varying periods is explored, and unknown time delays may exist between the time stamps and the true measurement times. Due to the time delays, the time stamp interval of the measurements from different sensors may be different from their true measurement interval, and the unknown difference between them is considered as the temporal bias and augmented into the state vector to be estimated. Multisensor measurements are collected in batch processing or sequential processing schemes to estimate the augmented state vector, results in two spatiotemporal bias compensation methods. In both processing schemes, the measurements are formulated as functions of both target states and spatiotemporal biases according to the time difference between the measurements and the states to be estimated. The Unscented Kalman Filter is used to handle the nonlinearity of the measurements and produce spatiotemporal bias and target state estimates simultaneously. The posterior Cramer-Rao lower bound (PCRLB) for spatiotemporal bias and state estimation is presented and simulations are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
