Given this multiple quad-tree topology, a probabilistic graphical model based on a hierarchical MRF is defined. It is made of a series of random fields associated with the various scales and connected by transition relations associated with the links
among the sites. In particular, the quad-trees are meant to be in cascade, consistently with the input time series. Let be the class label of site and let be the corresponding time series of random fields associated with all multiscale layers. Each realization of corresponds to a set of classification maps for all images in the series and all scales in the corresponding quad-trees.The key assumption in the hierarchical MRF model is that the random fields
are Markovian, both across scales and time (Kato and Zerubia 2012):where P(·) indicates the probability mass function (pmf) of discrete random variables and fields. Equation [1.1] implies that the distribution of the labels in each layer of each quad-tree, conditioned on the labels in all above layers of the same quad-tree and of the previous quad-trees in the series, can only be restricted to the distribution conditioned on the labels of the upper layers in the same and previous quad-trees. Furthermore, this distribution factorizes in a conditionally independent fashion – a common assumption in the area of latent Markov models
(Li 2009; Kato and Zerubia 2012):[1.2]
In the case of the first quad-tree in the series, these Markovianity and conditional independence assumptions are naturally adapted as follows
[1.3]
Finally, the feature vectors in the image time series

where p(·) denotes the PDF of continuous random variables and fields. Again, this assumption is widely accepted in the literature of latent MRF models (Li 2009; Kato and Zerubia 2012).
To ease the notations, in the following, we will simply write the feature vector
) and the class label of site and cs, respectively, dropping the explicit dependence on k and for the sake of clarity. For this reason, we will explain the formulation of the first proposed method in the case of a series composed of K = 2 images acquired by two different sensors and at two different resolutions on the considered area. In this case, two quad-trees in cascade are used. The extension to the case K > 2 is straightforward.The formulation of MPM defined in Hedhli et al. (2016) with regard to the case of multitemporal classification of single-sensor multiresolution imagery is generalized here to the case of multisensor data. The MPM decision rule assigns site
the class label that maximizes the posterior marginal probability i.e. the distribution of its own individual label, given all feature vectors in the image series (Li 2009; Kato and Zerubia 2012). This decision rule is especially advantageous in the case of hierarchical graphs because it penalizes classification errors as a function of the scale at which they occur. Intuitively, an error on a site in the leaves layer only directly affects the corresponding pixel, whereas an error in a single pixel in the root layer may propagate into many erroneously labeled pixels on the leaves layer. MPM correctly penalizes the latter scenario more strongly than the former (Laferté et al. 2000).As proven in Laferté et al. (2000) and Hedhli et al. (2016), under suitable conditional independence assumptions, the posterior marginal
can be recursively expressed as a function of the posterior marginal of the parent node s– in the same quad-tree and, in the case k = 2, also of the posterior marginal of the parent node s= in the previous quad-tree:where
collects all sites except the root in the k-th quad-tree (k = 1, 2) and Xs is a vector collecting the features of all of the descendants of site s. Through this formulation, MPM takes into consideration the information conveyed by the input multisensor data within the labeling of each site1.2.3. Hierarchical СКАЧАТЬ
