3) those based on the adaptation of the classifier trained on the source domain, and 4) those based on limited but
effective sampling of labeled samples in the target domain.
With practical examples, we have provided the reader with a thorough introduction to the field and some guidelines
for the selection of the approaches to use in real applica -
tion scenarios.
We believe that DA is of the highest importance to fu -
ture Earth observation since multimodality and repeated
imaging have become unavoidable [ 7]. The data are already
there, and new, challenging problems can now be tackled
with remote sensing. The discipline has succeeded in enter -
ing many new sectors of society, and it is now time to pro -
vide the tools to the users to perform a trustable monitor -
ing that can be obtained in different sensor configurations
or modalities. We think that DA and machine learning in general can contribute to providing an answer to this call.

Devis t uia (devis.tuia@geo.uzh.ch) received a diploma in
geography at the University of Lausanne (UNIL) in 2004,
a master of advanced studies degree in environmental en-
gineering at the Federal Institute of Technology of Laus-anne (EPFL) in 2005, and a Ph.D. degree in environmental
sciences at UNIL in 2009. Subsequently, he worked as a
visiting postdoctoral researcher at the University of Valen-cia, Spain, and at the University of Colorado, Boulder. He
then worked as a senior research associate at EPFL under a
Swiss National Foundation (SNF) program. Since 2014, he has been an SNF assistant professor in the Department of
Geography at the University of Zurich. His research inter-
ests include the development of algorithms for informa-tion extraction and data fusion of remote sensing images
using machine-learning algorithms. He serves as chair of
the Image Analysis and Data Fusion Technical Committee of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society. He is Da iS a R iSing F ieLD o F
