The analyses are carried out by means of traditional canonical correlation analysis (CCA) and canonical information analysis (CIA). Where {CCA} is based on maximising correlation between linear combinations of the two data sets, {CIA} maximises mutual information between the two. {CIA} is a conceptually more pleasing method for the analysis of data with very different modalities such as radar and optical data. Although a little inconclusive as far as the change detection aspect is concerned, results show that {CIA} analysis gives conspicuously less noisy appearing images of canonical variates (CVs) than {CCA}. Also, the {2D} histogram of the {CIA} based leading CVs clearly reveals much more structure than the {CCA} based one. This gives promise for potentially better change detection results with {CIA} than can be obtained by means of {CCA}.", isbn_issn = "DOI: 10.1007/978-3-319-59129-2" }
