Subpixel mapping (SPM) aims to reconstruct a subpixel-level class distribution map from the pixel-level abundance maps, which is an under-determined problem that has nonunique solutions. To address this, the spatiotemporal SPM uses the abundance, spatial, and temporal constraints to reduce the uncertainty of the mapping solutions, so the spatiotemporal SPM is essentially a constrained optimization problem. However, it is hard to find the optimal weighting parameters to combine the three joint constraints. In addition, the existing spatiotemporal SPM methods mainly use the temporal information either for the unchanged subpixels detection or for the subpixel classification, which is insufficient in the utilization of the temporal information. In this article, a novel spatiotemporal SPM algorithm based on multiobjective optimization (STSPM_MO) is proposed. STSPM_MO is composed of an unchanged subpixels detection stage and a multiobjective spatiotemporal mapping stage. In the former stage, the historical thematic map is used for identifying the unchanged subpixels. In the latter stage, the historical thematic map is further used for providing the temporal dependence, so that the temporal information can be more fully utilized. Moreover, to solve the constrained optimization problem of the spatiotemporal SPM, the abundance, spatial, and temporal constraints are modeled as three objectives and are dynamically fused through the subfitness-based multiobjective evolution, to generate the optimal subpixel classification map. Both synthetic and real-data experiments have been conducted, and the results show the proposed method, and its two variants are superior, stable, and effective.
