We unify several seemingly disparate approaches to passive sensing with sensor system fusion through the introduction of the concept of two-stage experiment design (ED) and regularization theory-based treatment of the passive sensing problems: (1) image formation with employing the ED considerations; (2) image improvement/ restoration via system and/or method fusion. At the image formation stage, which is the purpose of out study in this paper, we propose the unified ED-based regularization method that assumes no prior knowledge about the image model but exploits the variety of ED "degrees of freedom". ED-based generalization of the basic imaging algorithms for passive remote sensing systems is presented and discussed. %8 2007-03-19
