An IoT (Internet of Things) technology is a dynamic area of research, which
has been growing at a remarkable rate for the last few years. The IoT is a mammoth
network of associated things and people, which accumulates and shares data about how
they are used and the environment around them. It is the discernment of connecting any
device to the internet and other associated devices. When something is associated with
the internet, it can propel or receive information, or both. This ability to propel and/or
receive information makes things smart. IoT permits businesses and people to get more
insights from the world around them and do more evocative higher-level work. Data
fusion techniques are used to extract eloquent information from dissimilar IoT data. It
ferocities dissimilar data from sensor sources to mutually find a consequence, which is
more dependable, precise, and comprehensive. This chapter briefly designates the IoT
by the characteristics of data procurement and data fusion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
