Data fusion in remote sensing: examples

چکیده

Remotely sensed data provided information on Earth phenomena in different modalities, spectrally, spatially and temporally inhomogeneous. But all this set of data proposes different representations of the same physical environment. How to handle these different representations, how to extract the best of a combination of them? Data fusion is one of the answers to the best possible use of this set of remotely sensed data. In this paper, the general definition of Data fusion in the field of remote sensing as defined by a panel of European experts of the domain is reminded and some winning applications of Data fusion in Earth Observation domain are exposed. Different examples are proposed, mainly based on the fusion of satellite images from different modalities. The variety of examples proposed enhances the wild range of potential applications benefiting from data fusion in the Earth Observation domain. Benefits of using data fusion in this domain are stressed.

Modeling the potential of Sand and Dust Storm sources formation using time series of remote sensing data, fuzzy logic and artificial neural network (A Case study of Euphrates basin)

Due to the differences between the visible and thermal infrared images, the combination of these two types of images leads to better understanding of  the characteristics of targets and the environment. Thermal infrared images are really in distinguishing targets from the background based on the radiation differences and  land surface temperature (LST) calculation. However, their spatial resolu...

Object Level Strategy for Spectral Quality Assessment of High Resolution Pan-sharpen Images

Panchromatic and multi-spectral images produced by the remote sensing satellites are fused together to provide a multi-spectral image with a high spatial resolution at the same time. The spectral quality of the fused images is very important because the quality of a large number of remote sensing products depends on it. Due to the importance of the spectral quality of the fused images, its eval...
