Multisource and Multitemporal Data Fusion in Remote Sensing
The sharp and recent increase in the availability of data captured by
different sensors combined with their considerably heterogeneous natures poses
a serious challenge for the effective and efficient processing of remotely
sensed data. Such an increase in remote sensing and ancillary datasets,
however, opens up the possibility of utilizing multimodal datasets in a joint
manner to further improve the performance of the processing approaches with
respect to the application at hand. Multisource data fusion has, therefore,
received enormous attention from researchers worldwide for a wide variety of
applications. Moreover, thanks to the revisit capability of several spaceborne
sensors, the integration of the temporal information with the spatial and/or
spectral/backscattering information of the remotely sensed data is possible and
helps to move from a representation of 2D/3D data to 4D data structures, where
the time variable adds new information as well as challenges for the
information extraction algorithms. There are a huge number of research works
dedicated to multisource and multitemporal data fusion, but the methods for the
fusion of different modalities have expanded in different paths according to
each research community. This paper brings together the advances of multisource
and multitemporal data fusion approaches with respect to different research
communities and provides a thorough and discipline-specific starting point for
researchers at different levels (i.e., students, researchers, and senior
researchers) willing to conduct novel investigations on this challenging topic
by supplying sufficient detail and references
