Mapping hierarchical wetland characteristics by optical-SAR integration with collaborative spatial-spectral-temporal learning by Linwei Yue, Meiyue Wang, Chengpeng Huang, Qing Cheng, Qiangqiang Yuan, Huanfeng Shen

“…It remains a challenge to fuse the inherent characteristics of optical and SAR data by exploiting their discriminative feature representations for delineating wetland landscapes. To fully integrate the complementary information among optical and SAR data, a dual-branch deep network is proposed for mapping hierarchical wetland characteristics, which is referred to as HiWet-DBNet. …”
