Assessment of Multisource Remote Sensing Image Fusion by several dissimilarity Methods

Abstract

Recently, advancements in remote sensing technology have made it easier to obtain various temporal and spatial resolution satellite data. Remote sensing techniques can be a useful tool to detect vegetation and soil conditions, monitor crop diseases and natural disaster prevention, etc. Although the same scene taken by different sensors belong to the same ground object, the information that they offered are redundant, complementary and collaborative due to the spatial, spectral and temporal resolution are different. The method of image fusion can integrate an image with rich details and valuable information from multi-source remote sensing images, which aim to obtain more comprehensive and precise observations of the ground object. By using aspects from multi-source image fusion, this review presents the current status and future trends in remote sensing image fusion. First, different image properties and their applications are presented for remote sensing datasets at home and abroad. Second, a general summary and inductive analysis of the challenging difficulty of different types of multisource image fusion methods is conducted. Third, experiments are tested on eight different methodological approaches, and experimental results demonstrate that GSA method is the best alternative in terms of obtaining high spatial resolution and retaining the spectral information.
