Abstract

This paper critically reviews state-of-the-art and advanced methods for multispectral (MS) and panchromatic (Pan) image fusion based on either intensity-hue-saturation (IHS) transformation, or redundant multiresolution analysis (MRA). In either cases, lower-resolution MS bands are sharpened by injecting details taken from the higher-resolution Pan image. Crucial point is modeling the relationships between detail coefficients of a generic MS band and the Pan image at the same resolution. Once calculated at the coarser resolution, where both types of data are available, such a model shall be extended to the finer resolution to weight the Pan details to be injected. Two injection models embedded in an "a trous" wavelet decomposition will be compared on a test set of very high resolution QuickBird MS+Pan data. One works on approximations and provides a partial unmixing of coarse MS pixels via high-resolution Pan. Another is based on spectral fidelity of original and merged MS data. Fusion comparisons on spatially degraded data, whose high-resolution MS originals are available for reference, show that the former performs better than the latter, in terms of both spatial and spectral fidelity.
