MutanT: A modular and generic tool for multi-sensor data processing

In this paper a novel data processing framework that is fast, easy to use, open source, and highly extendable is presented. Due to its modular design concept the framework is not limited to specific tasks like image- or speech-processing but can be used for any data processing application. Thus it is an ideal platform for multi-sensor data fusion. Furthermore developers have the opportunity to extend the framework with their own filters and data types in a simple fashion, as a filter is a plug-in dynamically loaded by the framework. The framework provides a graphical user interface, where filters can be combined by a drag and drop action and a user can adjust filters' parameters during runtime which allows rapid prototyping. It will be publicly available on sourceforge.net under the BSD License and contributions from developers of diverse data processing areas are encouraged.     «
