[0002] Multi-source data fusion based on digital twins refers to integrating multiple data sources from different data sources into a virtual digital twin model that corresponds to the physical world, in order to achieve real-time monitoring and analysis of the physical world. For example, in the field of intelligent transportation, by integrating different information from different data sources, more comprehensive and accurate real-time status and dynamic information of the target area can be obtained to achieve real-time monitoring of traffic conditions, helping traffic management departments and drivers to understand road conditions and make corresponding adjustments.
[0003] However, due to the different data sources, integrating and verifying the acquired multi-source data is quite troublesome, which makes the data fusion process more prone to errors, putting more computational and verification pressure on the system. This leads to errors in the judgments derived from the analysis of this data, reducing the system's ability to grasp traffic conditions in real time. Moreover, since the data from multiple data sources are different and the related information has a strong logical connection, these data further increase the probability of errors. In view of this, we propose a multi-source data fusion method and system based on digital twins. Summary of the Invention
