Two-step ways are often used for fusing both
panchromatic (PAN) and multispectral (MS) images for classification,
e.g., classifying MS images sharpened by PAN images or
directly pouring fine spatial details of PAN images into a classification
result of MS images. In this paper, we present a unified
Bayesian framework to iteratively discovering semantic segments
from PAN images and allocating cluster labels for the segments
usingMS images. Specifically, the probabilistic generative process
of both PAN and MS images is explained with a generalized
metaphor of the Chinese restaurant franchise (CRF) (gCRF),
in which the two iterative random processes, i.e., table selection
and dish selection, are adapted to discovering semantic segments
in PAN images and inferring cluster labels for the discovered
segments using MS images, respectively. Our major contributions
are twofold: 1) The CRF is generalized into an image fusion
framework by elegantly decomposing its two random processes,
and 2) the random process of table selection in the CRF is transformed
into stochastic image segmentation by enforcing spatial
constraints over adjacent pixels. The qualitative analysis of experimental
results shows that the gCRF can effectively utilize both the
spatial details of the PAN images and the spectral information of
the MS images. In terms of quantitative evaluation, the gCRF is
comparable with support vector machine-based supervised classification
methods.
