Introduction
Data fusion is a technique used in multi-source information processing to combine data from multiple sources in order to produce more accurate, reliable, and complete information than can be achieved by using individual sources alone. In today’s data-driven world, where vast amounts of data are generated from various sources such as sensors, social media, and internet of things (IoT) devices, data fusion plays a crucial role in extracting valuable insights and making informed decisions.
This thesis focuses on the concept of data fusion for multi-source information processing, with the aim of exploring the various techniques and methodologies used in this field. The thesis will discuss the background of the study, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, and structure of the thesis, as well as provide a definition of key terms.
