Multisource Image Analysis

Abstract

Many applications in remote sensing can be handled using a single source of image data and, for years, simple multispectral imagery was seen to be sufficient for straightforward applications. However, the ability to interpret what is on the ground is often enhanced considerably when more than one type of spatial data is employed. For example, a combination of multispectral or hyperspectral data with radar imagery has been shown to be a particularly valuable data set.
