Abstract

This paper presents a new method to automatically detect occluded vehicle in semi or deep shadow areas using combined very high resolution (VHR) 3D LIDAR and hyperspectral data. The proposed shape/spectral integration (SSI) decision fusion algorithm was shown to outperform the spectral based anomaly algorithm mainly in deep shadow areas. The fusion of LIDAR DSM data with spectral data is useful in the detection of vehicles in semi and deep shadow areas. The utility of shape information was shown to be a way to enhance spectral target detection in complex urban scene.
