Enhances spatial resolution and temporal revisit rate simultaneously
Demonstrates effectiveness in filtering and smoothing contexts
Abstract
Satellite imaging has a central role in monitoring, detecting and estimating the intensity of key natural phenomena. One important feature of satellite images is the trade-off between spatial/spectral resolution and their revisiting time, a consequence of design and physical constraints imposed by satellite orbit among other technical limitations. In this paper, we focus on fusing multi-temporal, multi-spectral images where data acquired from different instruments with different spatial resolutions is used. We leverage the spatial relationship between images at multiple modalities to generate high-resolution image sequences at higher revisiting rates. To achieve this goal, we formulate the fusion method as a recursive state estimation problem and study its performance in filtering and smoothing contexts. The proposed strategy clearly outperforms competing methodologies, which is shown…
