A novel and simple method for panchromatic sharpening

Abstract

Panchromatic sharpening methods are frequently used in remote sensing technologies where satellite images are processed to obtain more useful forms. Obtaining high resolution images, by combining the images collected via different sensors with various wave lengths and resolutions, is very useful in imaging water resources, agricultural areas, forests, etc. In this study, applicaiton of a simple and very fast panchromatic sharpening method is presented including a comperative analysis (in terms of quality metrics) with the existing methods in the literature.
