สรุป	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.	Data fusion is a multi-level process that combines data and information from multiple sensors and sources to achieve improved accuracy, completeness, and confidence in estimates that cannot be obtained from any single source alone. Formally introduced as the Joint Directors of Laboratories (JDL) model by Hall and Llinas in 1997, the framework organizes fusion into hierarchical processing levels ranging from raw signal combination to higher-order situation and threat assessment.
