SAR AND TM DATA FUSION FOR WEST ER-LIAN BASIN AND ITS GEOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION

Considering difference between SAR and TM data,a method for geometric correction and merging for SAR and TM images is investigated.While conducting interpretation for Er-Lian basin of Inner-Mongolia,comparing the SAR images and merged TM/SAR images,the later can reveal more information and is helpful for image interpretation.The data fusion can expand the bandwidth of the remote sensing as well.
