Coupled nonnegative matrix factorization (CNMF) unmixing is proposed for the fusion of low-spatial-resolution hyperspectral and high-spatial-resolution multispectral data to produce fused data with high spatial and spectral resolutions. Both hyperspectral and multispectral data are alternately unmixed into end member and abundance matrices by the CNMF algorithm based on a linear spectral mixture model. Sensor observation models that relate the two data are built into the initialization matrix of

In recent years, enormous efforts have been made to design image-processing algorithms to enhance the spatial resolution of hyperspectral (HS) imagery. One of the most commonly addressed problems is the fusion of HS data with higher spatial resolution multispectral (MS) data. Various techniques have been proposed to solve this data-fusion problem based on different theories, including component substitution (CS), multiresolution analysis (MRA), spectral unmixing, and Bayesian probability. This a

Spaceborne hyperspectral images are useful for large scale mineral mapping. Acquired at a ground sampling distance (GSD) of 30 m, the Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program (EnMAP) will be capable of putting many issues related to environment monitoring and resource exploration in perspective with measurements in the spectral range between 420 and 2450 nm. However, a higher spatial resolution is preferable for many applications. This paper investigates the potential of fusion-based resolutio

In this paper, we present the scientific outcomes of the 2017 Data Fusion Contest organized by the Image Analysis and Data Fusion Technical Committee of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society. The 2017 Contest was aimed at addressing the problem of local climate zones classification based on a multitemporal and multimodal dataset, including image (Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2) and vector data (from OpenStreetMap). The competition, based on separate geographical locations for the training and

In this paper, we present the optical image simulation from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data using deep learning based methods. Two models, i.e., optical image simulation directly from the SAR data and from multi-temporal SAR-optical data, are proposed to testify the possibilities. The deep learning based methods that we chose to achieve the models are a convolutional neural network (CNN) with a residual architecture and a conditional generative adversarial network (cGAN). We validate our mod

Nonlinear spectral mixture models have recently received particular attention in hyperspectral image processing. In this paper, we present a novel optimization method of nonlinear unmixing based on a generalized bilinear model (GBM), which considers the second-order scattering of photons in a spectral mixture model. Semi-nonnegative matrix factorization (semi-NMF) is used for the optimization to process a whole image in matrix form. When endmember spectra are given, the optimization of abundance

We present a novel method for detecting instances of an object class or specific object in high-spatial-resolution optical remote sensing images. The proposed method integrates sparse representations for local-feature detection into generalized-Hough-transform object detection. Object parts are detected via class-specific sparse image representations of patches using learned target and background dictionaries, and their co-occurrence is spatially integrated by Hough voting, which enables object
