Data Fusion

Data fusion is about a systematic, joint analysis of data from different sources (measurement approaches) aiming to harvest their synergy. Both a major strength as well as a potential pitfall of data fusion consists of the fact that there is no magic bullet, no universal solution. – The careful analysis of the task at hand and suitable adaptation of the analysis strategy becomes as important as the analysis methodology itself.
