Sensor Fusion Screening Matrices for UAV-Based Highway Geohazard Monitoring

Hui Wu published judgment matrices on figshare in May 2026. The dataset supports research on selecting optimal multi-sensor fusion schemes for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) monitoring of highway geohazards. It applies an improved AHP-TOPSIS method to evaluate sensor combinations for rural and urban highway areas.

Use Cases

• Evaluating sensor fusion schemes for UAVs based on described performance scores and closeness calculations.
• Comparing optical, LiDAR, SAR, and hyperspectral sensor combinations for different terrain types mentioned in the description.
• Applying multi-criteria decision-making (AHP-TOPSIS) methods to convert qualitative monitoring requirements into quantitative weights.
• Screening optimal sensor sets for specific UAV flight heights (5-120m) over highway areas.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• Methodology is explicitly described, involving an improved AHP-TOPSIS process for sensor screening.
• Results are provided for four distinct highway area types: rural level, rural rolling, rural mountainous, and urban/suburban.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope, likely containing only the core judgment matrices.
