Conceptual robot-vision system processes data from both microwave and visible-wavelength sensors. Concept, called "fusion of sensors," yields better information on shapes of some objects than obtained from one type of sensor alone. Proposed system fuses data from television images with polarized low-resolution radar-scattering cross sections. Using iterative procedure, generates successive approximations to shape of target by minimizing differences between observed radar returns and radar returns observed if object characterized by computed scattering transfer matrix.
