Abstract

Multisensor data-fusion corresponds to the combination and analysis of data from different sources, to provide a more reliable and accurate response. Although in the recent years several developments have occurred in the field of multisensor data-fusion, this concept is hardly new. What has evolved in the past years is the emergence and proliferation of new sensors, data availability and the advances in processing techniques, which have made the real-time fusion of data increasingly possible. In this paper, InSar and Lidar height measurements are used in combination with geological scenarios and CPTs to discover areas along dike-infrastructure which are at risk for instability. It will be shown that data-fusion can be used on line infrastructure to identify geotechnical threats and their significance, in time and in space.
