Σύνοψη	Sensor fusion is a computational process that combines data from multiple heterogeneous sensors to produce an estimate of the environment that is more accurate, complete, and reliable than any single source alone. Systematized as a formal field by Khaleghi, Khamis, Karray, and Razavi in their 2013 state-of-the-art review in Information Fusion, the discipline addresses imperfections such as noise, incompleteness, temporal misalignment, and conflicting readings that arise whenever multiple sensing modalities operate in parallel.	Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is a process-based engineering methodology used in civil, mechanical, and aerospace engineering to continuously assess the condition of structures — bridges, buildings, dams, pipelines, and aircraft — through embedded or attached sensor networks. By acquiring real-time or periodic measurement data and applying signal processing and statistical pattern recognition, SHM aims to detect, locate, classify, and quantify damage before it reaches a critical state, enabling evidence-based maintenance decisions.
