Data Fusion in Remote Sensing and Improvement of the Spatial Resolution of Satellite Images

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAII,volume 70))

Abstract

Since the beginning of the 1990’s, the availability of Earth Observation satellite data has increased dramatically. Spatial resolutions available range from a meter or less to few kilometers and with finer and finer spectral resolutions. This new situation opens new applications and new fields of research in Earth observation.
