The effects of environment and climate on millimeter wave (MMW) radar
and infrared(IR) sensor were analyzed, and the environment and climate
models of these two kinds of sensors were obtained. Then a strategy a
uto-formation algorithm for MMW/IR fusion based on these two models wa
s presented. The combination performance was estimated and the strateg
y was auto-formed. At the end of this article a simulation result was
given, which is in agreement with the preliminary analysis.
