Yet, none of the spatiotemporal fusion methods considers how the various temporal changes between different pixels affect the performance of the fusion results; to develop an improved fusion method, these temporal changes need to be integrated into one framework. Adaptive-SFSDAF extends the existing fusion method that incorporates sub-pixel class fraction change information in Flexible Spatiotemporal DAta Fusion (SFSDAF) by modifying spectral unmixing to select spectral unmixing adaptively in order to greatly improve the efficiency of the algorithm. Accordingly, the main contributions of the proposed adaptive-SFSDAF method are twofold. One is to address the detection of outliers of temporal change in the image during the period between the origin and prediction dates, as these pixels are the most difficult to estimate and affect the performance of the spatiotemporal fusion methods. The other primary contribution is to establish an adaptive unmixing strategy according to the guided mask map, thus effectively eliminating a great number of insignificant unmixed pixels. The proposed method is compared with the state-of-the-art Flexible Spatiotemporal DAta Fusion (FSDAF), SFSDAF, FIT-FC, and Unmixing-Based Data Fusion (UBDF) methods, and the fusion accuracy is evaluated both quantitatively and visually. The experimental results show that adaptive-SFSDAF achieves outstanding performance in balancing computational efficiency and the accuracy of the fusion results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs12233979","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,7]],"date-time":"2020-12-07T21:37:42Z","timestamp":1607377062000},"page":"3979","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Adaptive-SFSDAF for Spatiotemporal Image Fusion that Selectively Uses Class Abundance Change Information"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Shuwei","family":"Hou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Intelligent Control and Image Engineering, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"},{"name":"China Academy of Space Technology, Xi\u2019an 710100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wenfang","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Aerospace Science and Technology, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Baolong","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Intelligent Control and Image Engineering, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3915-5451","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cheng","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Intelligent Control and Image Engineering, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaobo","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China Academy of Space Technology, Xi\u2019an 710100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yingzhao","family":"Shao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China Academy of Space Technology, Xi\u2019an 710100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jianhua","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China Academy of Space Technology, Xi\u2019an 710100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2207","DOI":"10.1109\/TGRS.2006.872081","article-title":"On the blending of the Landsat and MODIS surface reflectance: Predicting daily Landsat surface reflectance","volume":"44","author":"Gao","year":"2006","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
