The advanced M-estimates are known to be robust solution while trading off some accuracy. In order to improve the estimation accuracy while still maintaining the equivalent robustness, a two-stage robust fusion algorithm is proposed using preliminary rejection of outliers then an optimal linear fusion. The numerical experiments show that the proposed algorithm is equivalent to the M-estimates in the case of uncorrelated local estimates and significantly outperforms the M-estimates when local estimates are correlated.}, journal = {International Journal of Computer and Information Engineering}, volume = {4}, number = {10}, year = {2010}, pages = {1623 - 1627}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/7839}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/46}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 46, 2010}, }
