Image fusion is a method for obtaining a highly informative image by merging the relative information of an object obtained from two or more image sources of the same scene. The satellite cameras give a single band panchromatic (PAN) image with high spatial information and multispectral (MS) image with more spectral information. The problem exists today is either PAN or MS image is available fr...

Image fusion of multispectral and panchromatic satellite image is used to combine spatial detail of the panchromatic image of high spatial resolution and spectral information of multispectral image of low resolution, in order to create a synthetic multispectral high-resolution image. This process is called pansharpening and the resulting image, has among others, improved visual quality and visu...

In this paper, a multi-scale image fusion method based on discrete wavelet frame (DWF) is proposed for merging a high-resolution panchromatic image and a low-resolution multispectral image. The downampling process is avoided by using discrete wavelet frame decomposition. It leads to translation invariant and is available for the image fusion. The lowfrequency part of the panchromatic image is d...

Image fusion is one of the important techniques to enhance image information of remote sensing. In order to adequately make use of all kinds of remote sensing images information such as Panchromatic and threeband multi-spectral images, a novel remote sensing image fusion scheme based on wavelet transform is proposed. The fusion of multispectral (MS) and panchromatic (PAN) images, with complemen...

Image fusion is a fundamental technique for integrating high-resolution panchromatic images and low-resolution multispectral (MS) images. Fused images may enhance image interpretation. Empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is an effective method of decomposing non-stationary signals into a set of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). Hence, the characteristics of EMD may apply to image fusion technique...

ABSTRACT: Traditionally, the color transformation method such as IHS transformation is usually used as a fusion technique to color higher spatial resolution panchromatic image from lower spatial resolution multi-spectral image. However, the analysis indicates that the success of this image fusion technique depends heavily on a small proportion of spatial resolution between multi-spectral and pa...

Generally, image fusion methods are classified into three levels: pixel level (iconic), feature level (symbolic) and knowledge or decision level. In this paper we focus on iconic techniques for image fusion. Usually, image fusion techniques such as intensity-huesaturation (IHS) or Brovey are used to fuse high spatial resolution panchromatic and lower spatial resolution multispectral images that...

This paper proposes Transform Domain Fusion Rule (TDFR) via high pass modulation using Local Magnitude Ratio (LMR) in Fast Discrete Contour let Transform (FDCT) domain. Contour let transform method uses low resolution multispectral image and Cartosat-1 Panchromatic (PAN) of spatial resolution 2.5m is used as high resolution panchromatic image. This both images are up sampled in order to resize ...

In order to fuse two registered high spatial resolution panchromatic image and low spatial resolution multispectral image of the same scene, we proposed a new color transfer based fusion algorithm by using the non-separable wavelet frame transform (NWFT). Three bands are selected from the source multispectral image as the channels to be fused. A grayscale image is obtained by averaging these th...
