Explaining Multimodal Data Fusion: Occlusion Analysis for Wilderness Mapping

IGARSS 2023 - 2023 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2023
Jointly harnessing complementary features of multi-modal input data in a common latent space has been found to be beneficial long ago. However, the influence of each modality on the models decision remains a puzzle. This study proposes a deep learning framework for the modality-level interpretation of multimodal earth observation data in an end-to-end ...
