Classifier Fusion of High-resolution Optical and Synthetic Aperture Radar (sar) Satellite Imagery for Classification in Urban Area
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study concerned with fusion of synthetic aperture radar and optical satellite imagery. Due to the difference in the underlying sensor technology, data from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and optical sensors refer to different properties of the observed scene and it is believed that when they are fused together, they complement each other to improve the performance of a particular application. In this paper, two category of features are generate and six classifier fusion operators implemented and evaluated. Implementation results show significant improvement in the classification accuracy. * Corresponding author.

The actual process of rapid urbanisation is associated with various ecological, social and economic changes in both, the urban area and the surrounding natural environment. In order to keep up with the effects and impacts of this development, effective urban and regional planning requires accurate and up-to-date information on the urban dynamics. Recent studies have demonstrated the applicabili...
