This volume aims at providing engineers, researchers, educators, and advanced students in the field of Multisensor Fusion and Integration for Intelligent Systems with the recent progress in theory and applications. This was done by selecting high quality papers with appropriate themes from the IEEE International Conference on of Multisensor Fusion and Integration for Intelligent Systems (MFI 2008) held in Seoul, Korea, August 20-22, 2008, and by editing them for a consistent flow of the chosen theme. The book has the following distinct features: 1) The book addresses the growing interest in our society regarding the field of Multisensor Fusion and Integration for Intelligent Systems and 2) the book contains an introduction for each selected theme and included the editorial process to collect final manuscripts in major revision. The following topics are covered by the book: Sensor Network, Information Fusion, Robotics, Surveillance, Vision, HCI, SLAM, Applications (Underwater, ITS, etc.).
