We provide and evalúate a fusión algorithm of remotely sensed images, i.e. the fusión of a panchromatic (PAN) image with a multi-spectral (MS) image using bilateral filtering, applied to images of three different sensors: SPOT 5, Landsat ETM+ and Quickbird. To assess the fusión process, we use six quality indexes, that confirm, along with visual analysis, good overall results for the three sens...

A new watershed-based technique is proposed for the segmentation of multiresolution remote-sensing images. These images are composed by a high-resolution panchromatic band and a low-resolution multispectral set. To achieve a segmentation with the high resolution of the panchromatic image and the high accuracy granted by the spectral information, the two components are processed jointly, using b...

This paper presents a morphological neural network approach to extract vehicle targets from high resolution panchromatic satellite imagery. In the approach, the morphological shared-weight neural network (MSNN) is used to classify image pixels on roads into vehicle targets and non-vehicle targets, and a morphology based preprocessing algorithm is developed to identify candidate vehicle pixels. ...

The present article reports the results of an extensive empirical evaluation of spatial resolution of a digital large format Intergraph DMC sensor. The parameters of the study were flight direction, ground sample distance (GSD) and the distance from the image center. The key finding of the study was that the resolution of the DMC panchromatic large-format image was clearly dependent on the dist...

On the basis that the PCA transformation and additive wavelet transformation have their own advantages and disadvantages ——higher spatial resolution can be acquired from the PCA transformation; however, more serious distortion of spectral characteristics can happen as well. While, the àtrous wavelet transformation is able to preserve spatial information; however, the result is lack of high spat...

With the development of modern remote sensing technology, a variety of earth observation satellites could continue to tremendously provide image data of different spatial resolution, time resolution, spectral resolution remote sensing, and the remote sensing data obtained is increasing with great capacity, which forms multi-source image pyramid in the same area. To play the advantages of a vari...

We address the two dominant dilemmas encountered in attempting to demonstrate real-time hyperspectral imaging: how to record a three-dimensional spectral data cube with a conventional two-dimensional detector array and how to most efficiently transmit the spectral data cube through the information bottleneck constituted by the detector’s limited space–bandwidth product. We have demonstrated a n...

Multispectral imagery (MSI) taken with high-spatial resolution systems provides a powerful tool for mapping kelp in water. MSI are not always available, however, and there are systems which provide only panchromatic imagery which would be useful to exploit for the purpose of mapping kelp. Kelp mapping with MSI is generally done by use of the standard Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI...

Spatial and spectral information are essential sources of in remote sensing applications, the fusion panchromatic multispectral images effectively combines advantages both. Due to existence two main classes methods—component substitution (CS) multi-resolution analysis (MRA), which have different advantages—mixed approaches possible. This paper proposes a algorithm that generalized intensity–hue...
