Detailed Description

DtContactFusionController populates the objectContactList in the DtVrfObjectStateRepository by gathering contact information from various sources and fuses them into one list.

End User Description: This controller monitors contact info from various sources– sensor input ports, spot reports. It goes through all the contacts fusing redundant information into one list. This list is stored in the entity state repository, and can be accessed by other controllers there. Both the target selection controller and spot report generator controller utilize this list.

Uses Descriptor Type: DtComponentDescriptor

virtual void DtContactFusionController::updateContactInfo ( DtRwSensorContactInfo entry,
const DtRwSensorContactInfo incomingInfo 
)
protectedvirtual

If an entry already exists it's contact info is updated.

Calls mergeContactInfo function which is defined in rwSensorContactInfo.h.
