DESCRIPTION

i.fusion.hpf is an implementation of the High Pass Filter Additive (HPFA) Fusion Technique. It combines high-resolution panchromatic data with lower resolution multispectral data, resulting in an output with both excellent detail and a realistic representation of original multispectral scene colors. The process involves a convolution using a High Pass Filter (HPF) on the high resolution data, then combining this with the lower resolution multispectral data. Optionally, a linear histogram matching technique is performed in a way that matches the resulting Pan-Sharpened image to the statistical mean and standard deviation of the original multi-spectral image.

Background

  1. Computing ratio of low (Multi-Spectral) to high (Panchromatic) resolutions
  2. High Pass Filtering the Panchromatic Image
  3. Resampling MSX image to the higher resolution
  4. Adding weighted High-Pass-Filetred image to the upsampled MSX image
  5. Optionally, matching histogram of Pansharpened image to the one of the original MSX image
