Abstract :
This paper presents two methods to fuse SAR and optical data for urban extent extraction. The two methodologies build over single sensor´s procedure in order to improve the efficiency of the characterization of the urban environment when more data is available. Results over Pavia and Al Fashir conform the effectiveness of the proposed procedures.
