Sensor system for independently evaluating the accuracy of the data of the sensor system
First Claim
1. A sensor system, comprising:
- a plurality of sensor elements configured to sense different primary measured variables or use different measurement principles;
a signal processing device configured to evaluate sensor signals from the sensor elements collectively and to rate the information quality of the sensor signals;
wherein the signal processing device provides information about the accuracy of at least one datum of a physical variable;
the signal processing device in a form such that the information about the accuracy is described in at least one characteristic quantity; and
in that the signal processing device is configured to perform an anticipatory or a predictive calculation of at least one accuracy measure for at least one value of a physical variable, wherein the at least one value of the physical variable and the associated accuracy measure are based on a probable or a predictive presence thereof at or after one or more signal processing steps before one or more of the signal processing steps are performed.

Abstract
A sensor system, having a plurality of sensor elements configured such that they sense at least to some extent different primary measured variables use at least to some extent different measurement principles, a signal processing device. The signal processing device is configured to evaluate the sensor signals from the sensor elements at least to some extent collectively and rates the information quality of the sensor signals, wherein the signal processing device provides a piece of information about the accuracy of at least one datum of a physical variable. The signal processing device is configured such that the information about the accuracy is described in at least one characteristic quantity or a set of characteristic quantities.
