  ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to fuse high resolution optical and microwave images and classify urban land cover types using a refined Mahalanobis distance classifier. For the data fusion, multiplicative method, Brovey transform, intensity-huesaturation method and principal component analysis are used and the results are compared. The refined method uses spatial thresholds defined from local knowledge and the bands defined from multiple sources. The result of the refined Mahalanobis distance method is compared with the result of a standard technique and it demonstrates a higher accuracy. Overall, the research indicates that the combined use of optical and microwave images can notably improve the interpretation and classification of land cover types and the refined Mahalanobis classification is a powerful tool to increase classification accuracy.
