Information fusion in remote sensing

Abstract A short review of data fusion in remote sensing with emphasis on statistically based data fusion methods is given. The introductory part defines data fusion and image registration, and provides a historical background and some general references. Multivariate data are the necessary basis for any data fusion algorithm. The possible levels of data fusion and the frequent occurrence of various types of multivariate data in remote sensing are discussed. Finally, the paper presents a number of statistically based data fusion methods and discusses data fusion in the Bayesian framework.
