Abstract :
The paper presents the real-life data results of SAR and optical images data fusion. The fusion has been carried out for SAR images obtained in classical SAR, multilook SAR and multilook color mapping SAR modes. The aim of the presented images fusion was to enhance the target recognition capabilities on the Earth surface for a simple single-channel SAR receiver.
