Abstract
Efficient integration of remote sensing information with different temporal, spectral and spatial resolutions is important for accurate land cover mapping. A new temporal fusion classification (TFC) model is presented for land cover classification, based on statistical fusion of multitemporal satellite images. In the proposed model, the temporal dependence of multitemporal images is taken into account by estimating transition probabilities from the change pattern of a vegetation dynamics indicator (VDI). Extension of this model is applicable to Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images and integration of multisensor multitemporal satellite images, concerning both temporal attributes and reliability of multiple data sources. The feasibility of the new method is verified using multitemporal Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) and ERS SAR satellite images, and experimental results show improved performance over conventional methods.
