   Hint

   Think about how different sources can provide complementary information.

2. 2.

   What does LiDAR stand for?

   Hint

   It's related to measuring distances using light.

3. 3.

   What is data fusion?

   • Combining multiple sensor data
   • Using a single type of data
   • Analyzing data without integration

   Hint

   Think about how combining data leads to more reliable insights.

4. 4.

   True or False: Data fusion only applies to satellite data.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider whether sensors from different platforms can work together.

5. 5.
