Have a look at "Data Fusion and Sensor Managment a decentalized 
information-theoretic approach" by James Manyika and Hugh Durrant-Whyte.
ISBN 0-13-303132-2, or any papers by James or John Leonard. The work has lots 
of good theory in plus all the data and examples are from our Sonar self 
navigating vehicle.
