We have now entered a new era where the Defense Department, Homeland Security, and Companies are having to process such overwhelming amounts of data that even current computer capacities can no longer handle it. This data has to be processed in real time making the problem ever more difficult. The problems caused by this information overload are escalating every year. Fusion frames are a recent development designed to address these issues. Fusion frames allow high dimensional data to be processed in smaller dimensional subspaces with the results later fused to produce global outcomes. We will look at fusion frames and their applications.
