MULTISOURCE DATA FUSION FOR THE ENHANCEMENT OF URBAN FEATURES

The aim of this study is to explore the performances of different data fusion techniques for the enhancement of urban features and evaluate the features obtained by the fusion techniques in terms of separation of urban land cover classes. For the fusion, different ordinary and advanced methods are used and the results are compared. Of these methods, the best result is obtained by the use of the wavelet-based fusion. Overall, the research indicates that multisource information can significantly improve the interpretation and analysis of the land surface features.
