description Spatiotemporal fusion technique can combine the advantages of temporal resolution and spatial resolution of different images to achieve continuous monitoring for the Earth’s surface, which is a feasible solution to resolve the trade-off between the temporal and spatial resolutions of remote sensing images. In this paper, an object-based spatiotemporal fusion model (OBSTFM) is proposed to produce spatiotemporally consistent data, especially in areas experiencing non-shape changes (including phenology changes and land cover changes without shape changes). Considering different changes that might occur in different regions, multi-resolution segmentation is first employed to produce segmented objects, and then a linear injection model is introduced to produce preliminary prediction. In addition, a new optimized strategy to select similar pixels is developed to obtain a more accurate prediction. The performance of proposed OBSTFM is validated using two remotely sensed dataset experiencing phenology changes in the heterogeneous area and land cover type changes, experimental results show that the proposed method is advantageous in such areas with non-shape changes, and has satisfactory robustness and reliability in blending large-scale abrupt land cover changes. Consequently, OBSTFM has great potential for monitoring highly dynamic landscapes.
