Multi-sensor data management method and device

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for managing multi-sensor data in a system (10). The method comprises a step of storing the data (Dij) received from a plurality of sensors (Ci) in at least one buffer (Bi), associating each data point (Dij) with a time marker (Tj) indicating the instant when the data point (Dij) is acquired by the sensor (Ci). This storage step is repeated continuously during the operation of the system (10).The process comprises successive periods of execution of a merging algorithm, including a step of determining the most recent time marker of the data (Dij) stored in at least one buffer (Bi), to constitute a set of most recent time markers; a step of defining a time window; a step of processing the data (Dij) prior to the time window, and of defining an internal state of the system (10) for the lower bound of the time window; and a step of processing the data (Dij) included in the time window.
