This factor is expected to drive the global sensor fusion market during the forecast period.

Restraining Factors

The need for calibration across multiple sensors, each with its distinct characteristics and properties, is a significant challenge in sensor fusion. Differences in sensitivity, resolution, or noise levels between sensors might affect the accuracy and consistency of sensor data. To address these challenges, sensor fusion systems must include sophisticated algorithms and techniques that can account for sensor variability and adjust to changes in sensor performance over time. This necessitates a thorough understanding of sensor characteristics and properties, as well as proficiency in signal processing, machine learning, and statistics. As a result, a lack of proper calibration across multiple sensors is limiting the global sensor fusion market growth.
