A novel generic graph-based framework was developed addressing simultaneous registration, segmentation and change detection in multisensor data of different spectral, spatial and temporal resolutions. The quite promising experimental results indicated: (i) for the registration task a mean displacement error of less than 2 pixels, (ii) for the segmentation task in most cases completeness and correctness rates above 77% and (iii) for the change detection around or above 70%. The main errors derived from the important relief displacements around the tallest buildings and from the quite similar reflectance spectra of the different man-made objects including ship/vessels.
