1. A method of fusing outputs from multiple detection/classification (D/C) schemes, comprising the steps of: providing output scores from each of a plurality of D/C schemes for an area of interest, each of said output scores corresponding to a known location in said area of interest and indicating a degree of confidence with respect to a detection of a target at said known location; normalizing said output scores to form normalized output scores associated with each of said plurality of D/C schemes; and fusing said normalized output scores for each said detection having at least one of said normalized output scores from said one of said plurality of D/C schemes associated therewith in accordance with a fusion rule.
