Resümee

Remote sensing applications have been promoting the development of satellite sensors and their performances. The satellite sensors are now possessing higher and higher data resolutions, and it in turn greatly facilitating remote sensing applications. The improvement of spatial resolution makes it possible to precisely record textures and spatial features of land covers. The improvement of spectral resolution makes it possible to precisely classify and retrieve parameters. The improvement of temporal resolution makes it easier to record the temporal changes of land covers during different phases. However, due to the limitation of sensors, satellite data can not possess high spatial resolution, high temporal resolution and high spectral resolution at the same time, which greatly hinders further remote sensing applications. Remote sensing data fusion is one of the effective solutions to deal with the problem of limitation in sensors’ resolutions, which is to integrate data from different sources and with different resolutions using algorithm methods to get richer information than one single image data. In recent years, the remote sensing data fusion methods have been greatly developed and related articles boost in growing numbers and importance. Thus, this article aims to systematically introduce the remote sensing data fusion and its current progress. Former reviews of remote sensing data fusion divides fusion methods into different categories. Based on processing levels, the remote sensing data fusion methods can be divided into pixel-level fusion, feature-level fusion and decision-level fusion. And based on the data sources, the remote sensing data fusion methods can be divided into homogeneous data fusion, heterogeneous data fusion, fusion for remote sensing observation and station data, and fusion for remote sensing observation and non-observed data. And this article adopts another category system which makes it more systematic and comprehensive in mathematical principles. In order to systematically indicate the current progress and developed history of remote sensing data fusion methods, this article first did bibliometric analysis on the remote sensing data fusion articles from data sources from Web of Science (WOS) and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). The data was preprocessed and has removed duplicates. Analysis including the aspects of yearly publishments, countries and organizations, journals and key words to see the history and trends have been done by Histcite, Bibliometric, Citespace and Endnote. Then the remote sensing fusion methods are systematically introduced. According to different resolution improvements, this article firstly divided the fusion methods into three categories: fusion methods emphasizing improvements of spatial resolution development, spectral development and temporal development, and based on that we further divide them into subcategories according to different mathematical principles. And the basic principles, some of the important methods, the advantages and flaws of these methods are systematically introduced in this section. Also, we did detailed instructions on fusion result assessment methods including methods with reference image and without reference image. Under these two categories we further introduced different assessment metrics and its applicable scenarios. And finally, this article made summaries of these fusion methods and described its features and directions. And finally makes predictions of future trends in remote sensing data fusion methods.
