Issues concerning the effective integration of multiple sensors into the operation of intelligent systems are presented, and a description of some of the general paradigms and methodologies that address this problem is given. Multisensor integration, and the related notion of multisensor fusion, are defined and distinguished. The potential advantages and problems resulting from the integration of information from multiple sensors are discussed.
