High Resolution Remote Sensing Image Analysis with Exogenous Data: A Generic Framework

With the recent (or in the very next future) availability of high resolution optical and radar satellite sensors, the need of multi-sensor image processing systems able to assist human operators in scene interpretation is more and more crucial. This paper focuses on remote sensing image understanding with exogenous data, in the framework of cartographic applications. We propose a processing chain for cartographic database creation/update using high resolution (metric and submetric) optical and/or radar remote sensing images.
