Sensor Data Integration:
Concepts and Methods
According to Luo and Kay (1992) multi-sensor fusion “refers to any stage in an integration
process where there is an actual combination (or fusion) of different sources of sensory
information into one representational format.”
Starr and Desforges (1998) suggests “[d]ata fusion is a process that combines data and
knowledge from different sources with the aim of maximising the useful information
content, for improved reliability or discriminant capability, while minimising the quantity of
data ultimately retained.”
Wald (1998) defines it as “a formal framework in which are expressed means and tools for
the alliance of data of the same scene originating from different sources. It aims at obtaining
information of greater quality; the exact definition of greater quality will depend upon the
application.”
According to McGirr (2001) data fusion is “the process of bringing large amounts of
dissimilar information together into a more comprehensive and easily manageable form”

Multi-Scale Decomposition
Subsampling results in size differences in sub-band images, creating a
pyramid.
A rule based cascading of pyramids of different data sources while keeping
the most significant details provides integration
