Deep/Transfer Learning with Feature Space Ensemble Networks (FeatSpaceEnsNets) and Average Ensemble Networks (AvgEnsNets) for Change Detection Using DInSAR Sentinel-1 and Optical Sentinel-2 Satellite Data Fusion

Differential interferometric synthetic aperture radar (DInSAR), coherence, phase, and displacement are derived from processing SAR images to monitor geological phenomena and urban change. Previously, Sentinel-1 SAR data combined with Sentinel-2 optical imagery has improved classification accuracy in...

description Differential interferometric synthetic aperture radar (DInSAR), coherence, phase, and displacement are derived from processing SAR images to monitor geological phenomena and urban change. Previously, Sentinel-1 SAR data combined with Sentinel-2 optical imagery has improved classification accuracy in various domains. However, the fusing of Sentinel-1 DInSAR processed imagery with Sentinel-2 optical imagery has not been thoroughly investigated. Thus, we explored this fusion in urban change detection by creating a verified balanced binary classification dataset comprising 1440 blobs.
