Introduction

The subject of this chapter is temporal alignment, or registration, which we define as the transformation T(t) which maps local sensor observation times t to a common time axis t . Temporal alignment is one of the basic processes required for creating a common representational format. It often plays a critical role in applications involving in many multi-sensor data fusion applications. This is especially true for applications operating in real-time (see Sect. 2.4.2).
