Contribution of sensor fusion to urban mapping: application to simulated SPOT 5-6 data

This communication intends to enhance the contribution of a sensor fusion method to urban mapping using the simulated SPOT 5-6 data. A new scheme is proposed for cartography of urban areas which takes into account the multispectral and the multiresolution nature of the data. This process makes use of classification and segmentation. An application of the sensor fusion method to analyse the simulated SPOT 5-6 data is presented. The benefits of using sensor fusion before the application of classification and segmentation are discussed.
