Claim:
1. Architecture comprising: a plurality of sensors, each sensor supplying measurement data and being associated with accuracy data indicative of the accuracy of the supplied measurement data; each sensor being associated with means for deriving first estimates of the variability of the measurement data supplied by the respective sensor by processing the measurement data supplied by the respective sensor, means for deriving second estimates of the variability of the measurement data supplied by the respective sensor by processing the accuracy data associated with the respective sensor, and means for combining the first and second estimates to derive overall estimates of the variability of the measurement data supplied by the respective sensor; means for removing measurements which deviate from other measurements of the measurement data prior to deriving the first estimates of the variability of the measurement data supplied by the respective sensor; means for combining the measurement data supplied by each sensor and the overall estimates for each sensor.
