**Time Intervals**: It's especially common with aerial-acquired data to fuse only select [processing intervals](/spatialexplorer-8-and-9/user-interface/windows/project/intervals.md), rather than to fuse all data.&#x20;

**Grid**: Fusing to a grid enables the user to create a [cloud group](/spatialexplorer-8-and-9/user-interface/windows/project/pointclouds.md#cloud-groups) (i.e. a tiled point cloud). This is advantageous with spatially large data sets.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
A **Minimum Velocity** of 0.1 m/s can be useful when fusing mobile data sets. This prevents data accumulating when the vehicle is not in motion.&#x20;

**SLAM:** SLAM processing can be enabled here for multi-laser lidar systems. If SLAM is enabled, an additional [SLAM Processing settings ](/spatialexplorer-8-and-9/user-interface/windows/slam/slam-processing-profile.md)menu will appear.&#x20;
