this paper examined the applicability of quantum genetic algorithms to solve optimization problems posed by satellite image enhancement techniques, particularly superresolution, and fusion. We introduce a framework starting from reconstructing the higher-resolution panchromatic image by using the subpixel-shifts between a set of lower-resolution images (registration), then interpolation, restor...

Fusion or merging or pansharpening is the digital processing that combines the high spatial and multispectral information to obtain a fused multispectral image that retains the spatial information from the high resolution panchromatic image, as well as the spectral characteristics of the lower resolution multispectral image. Many fusion algorithms were developed and tested on different commerci...

Iconic image fusion is a technique that is used to combine the spatial structure of a high resolution panchromatic image with the spectral information of a lower resolution multispectral image to produce a high resolution multispectral image. This process is often referred to as pansharpening. In this study, image data of the new RADAR satellite TerraSAR-X are used to sharpen optical multispect...

Various and different methods can be used to produce high-resolution multispectral images from high-resolution panchromatic image (PAN) and low-resolution multispectral images (MS), mostly on the pixel level. The Quality of image fusion is an essential determinant of the value of processing images fusion for many applications. Spatial and spectral qualities are the two important indexes that us...

The standard ratio of spatial resolution between bands for high resolution satellites is 1:4, which is typical when combining images obtained from the same sensor. However, the cost of simultaneously purchasing a set of panchromatic and multispectral images is still relatively high. There is therefore a need to develop methods of data fusion of very high resolution panchromatic imagery with low...

Abstract— The combined image fusion method which proposed in this paper integrates the information from multiple fusion algorithms which is more suitable for human visual perception. Multispectral images (SPOT) have low spatial resolution. So, integrating of low-resolution multispectral and high-resolution panchromatic (IKONOS) images is a technique for improving the spatial quality of multispe...

Since satellite images with high spatial and spectral quality are highly desired for remote sensing applications, various algorithms have been developed for the fusion of multispectral and panchromatic images. Wavelet transform based mergers have found enormous interest in the fusion community. This paper introduces undecimated filterbanks with lattice structure and applies them to the pansharp...
