An information-theoretic approach to distributed state estimation

It is shown that the covariance intersection fusion rule, widely used in the context of distributed estimation, has a nice information-theoretic interpretation in terms of consensus on the Kullback-Leibler average of Gaussian probability density functions (PDFs). Based on this observation, a novel d...
