Welcome
This site proposes an introduction to data fusion, or information fusion.
It also offers definitions and terms of reference. It discusses alignment, association and topological and processing issues. The properties of information fusion are listed.
It summarizes the main results attained by MINES ParisTech in relation with other universities, and specially the Special Interest Group "Data Fusion" of EARSeL (European Association of Remote Sensing Laboratories).
Besides the efforts made to better understanding the definitions, terms of reference, and properties in data fusion, the work has focused on the fusion of images acquired by different modalities (or sensors) having different spatial resolutions. The work has been extended to the fusion of gridded data, such as outputs of meteorological or climatological models. Two points were studied:
- development of algorithms for the fusion of images,
- development of protocols and tools for the assessment of the quality of fused products.
