Abstract We describe usage of DEM data in the VisiMine
system for data mining and statistical analysis of the collections
of remotely sensed images.
I INTRODUCTION
Fusion of terrain with optical and other sensor data can
greatly enhance many image processing and interpretation
tasks. In a broader sense we could employ observed statistical
interdepencies of optical and terrain data over large areas to
solve problems in automatic image classification in an
entirely probabilistic framework. This would benefit our
ability to predict vegetation types and land classes, model
deviations in multispectral reflectance, reduce the time
required for spectral signature calibration and terrain
correction, and generally improve the precision of many data
