capturing the nuances of our physical and environmental surroundings. This review delves deep into the fascinating world of IoT
sensor technology, unveiling its profound impact on shaping a smarter future. We begin by exploring the diverse tapestry of sensor
types, ranging from traditional workhorses like temperature and pressure sensors to cutting-edge marvels like biometric sensors
and image recognition modules. We delve into the realm of virtual and smart sensors, where virtual entities glean insights without
a physical presence, and smart sensors adapt their functionalities based on environmental cues. But the journey doesn't end there.
We then dissect the intricate architecture of IoT sensor data processing. Imagine raw data, a cacophony of numbers and readings,
flowing from countless sensors. This is where the magic happens. Through fusion, disparate data streams are merged, revealing
hidden patterns and correlations. Sophisticated analysis techniques extract meaningful information, identifying anomalies and
predicting future trends. Finally, transformation sculpts the data into actionable insights, ready to drive intelligent decisions and
