Current satellite missions (e.g., COSMO-SkyMed, Sentinel-1) collect single- or multipolarimetric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images with multiple spatial resolutions and possibly short revisit times. The availability of heterogeneous data requires effective methods able to exploit all the available information. In the context of...

The automatic registration of multisensor remote sensing images is a highly challenging task due to the inherently different physical, statistical, and textural properties of the input data. In the present paper, this problem is addressed in the case of optical-SAR images by proposing a novel method based on deep learning and area-based...

The automatic registration of image pairs composed of optical and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images is a highly challenging task because of the inherently different physical, statistical, and textural properties of the input data. Information-theoretic measures capable of comparing local intensity distributions are often used for...

The automatic registration of multisensor remote sensing images is a highly challenging task due to the inherently different physical, statistical, and textural characteristics of the input data. Information-theoretic measures are often used to favor comparing local intensity distributions in the images. In this paper, a novel method based on...

Decision fusion allows making a common decision by combining multiple opinions. In the context of remote sensing classification, such techniques are of great importance in all the cases where data collected by multiple sensors are merged into a final decision. Decision fusion may be used to combine the posterior probabilities associated with...

Because of the large variety of planetary sensors and spacecraft already collecting data and with many new and improved sensors being planned for future missions, planetary science needs to integrate numerous multimodal image sources, and, as a consequence, accurate and robust registration algorithms are required. In this article, we develop a...

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and optical satellite image registration is a field that developed in the last decades and gave rise to a great number of approaches. The registration process is composed of several steps: feature definition, feature comparison and optimization of a geometric transformation between the images. Feature definition...

The aim of this paper is to address the monitoring of the recovery phase in the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew (28 September–10 October 2016) in the town of Jérémie, southwestern Haiti. This is accomplished via a novel change detection method that has been formulated, in a data fusion perspective, in terms of multitemporal supervised...

The aim of this study was to identify a method for staging hepatic fibrosis using a non-invasive, rapid and inexpensive technique based on ultrasound morphologic hepatic features. A total of 215 patients with different liver diseases underwent B-mode (2-D brightness mode) ultrasonography, vibration-controlled transient elastography, 2-D shear...

The growing need for interoperability among the different oceanic monitoring systems to deliver services able to answer the requirements of stakeholders and end-users led to the development of a low-cost machine-to-machine communication system able to guarantee data reliability over marine paths. In this framework, an experimental evaluation of...
