Synergetic Classification of Coastal Wetlands over the Yellow River Delta with GF-3 Full-Polarization SAR and Zhuhai-1 OHS Hyperspectral Remote Sensing

The spatial distribution of coastal wetlands affects their ecological functions. Wetland classification is a challenging task for remote sensing research due to the similarity of different wetlands. In this study, a synergetic classification method developed by fusing the 10 m Zhuhai-1 Constellation...
