KOMPSAT-2 위성영상은 공간해상도가 우수한 1-m급 전정색 영상과, 상대적으로 분광해상도가 우수한 4-m급 다중분광 영상을 동시 취득하는 다중 센서이다. 영상융합기법의 적용을 통해 1-m급 고해상도 다중분광 영상의 취득이 가능하며, 이것은 1-m급에서 식별 가능한 객체들을 분류하고 변화 탐지하는데 활용될 수 있다. 본 연구는 IHS (Intensity-Hue-Saturation) 융합 기법의 I (Intensity) 와 $\delta$ 값을 조정함으로써 새로운 융합기법을 제안하였으며, 육안분석과 상관계수를 가지고 다른 융합기법들과 비교분석하였다. 실험 결과, 제안된 기법의 융합영상은 원본 다중분광영상과 가장 높은 상관계수를 나타내었으며, 상관계수가 유사한 웨이브릿 융합 또는 고대역 필터링과의 육안분석에서 확연히 우수한 공간 선명도를 나타내는 것으로 평가되었다.

In the satellite image fusion, the most important point is to preserve both the spatial detail of panchromatic(PAN) image and the spectral information of multispectral(MS) image. Among various image fusion techniques, fusion technique using Intensity-Hue-Saturation(IHS) transform is widely used and it has advantage that computation is very simple. In this study, a fusion technique using fast IHS transform and trade-off parameter $\alpha^i$ proposed. Proposed fusion technique permits customization of the trade-off between the spectral information and spatial detail quality of the fused image through the evaluation of two quality indices: a spectral index(the spectral ERGAS) and a spatial one(the spatial ERGAS). Based on the result of experiment using IKONOS image, we confirmed the proposed fusion technique was more effective in preserving spatial detail and spectral information than existing fusion techniques using fast IHS transform.

Image fusion is defined as making new image by merging two or more images using special algorithms. In case of remote sensing, it means fusing multispectral low-resolution remotely sensed image with panchromatic high-resolution image. Generally, hyperspectral image fusion is accomplished by utilizing fusion technique of multispectral imagery or spectral unmixing model. But, the former may distort spectral information and the latter needs endmember data or additional data, and has a problem with not preserving spatial information well. This study proposes a new algorithm based on two stage spectral unmixing model for preserving hyperspectral image's spectral information. The proposed fusion technique is implemented and tested using Hyperion and ALI images. it is shown to work well on maintaining more spatial/spectral information than the PCA/GS fusion algorithms.

Among various image fusion methods, intensity-hue-saturation(IHS) technique is capable of quickly merging the massive volumes of data. For IKONOS imagery, IHS can yield satisfactory 'spatial' enhancement but may introduce 'spectral' distortion, appearing as a change in colors between compositions of resampled and fused multispectral bands. To solve this problem a fast IHS fusion technique with spectral adjustment is presented. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach can provide better performance than the conventional IHS method, in both processing speed and image quality.

High resolution Pan-sharpening technique is becoming increasingly important in the field of remote sensing image analysis as an essential image processing to improve the spatial resolution of original multispectral image. The general scheme of pan-sharpening technique consists of upsampling process of multispectral image and high-pass detail injection process using the panchromatic image. The upsampling process, however, brings about image blurring, and this lead to spectral distortion in the pan-sharpening process. In order to solve this problem, this paper presents a new method that adopts image restoration techniques based on optimization theory in the pan-sharpening process, and evaluates its efficiency and application possibility. In order to evaluate the effect of image restoration techniques on the pansharpening process, the result obtained using the existing method that used bicubic interpolation were compared visually and quantitatively with the results obtained using image restoration techniques. The quantitative comparison was done using some spectral distortion measures for use to evaluate the quality of pan-sharpened image.

Thermal infrared images have the characteristic of being able to detect objects that can not be seen with the naked eye and have the advantage of easily obtaining information of inaccessible areas. However, TIR (Thermal InfraRed) images have a relatively low spatial resolution. In this study, the applicability of the pansharpening algorithm used for satellite imagery on images acquired by the UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) was tested. RGB image have higher spatial resolution than TIR images. In this study, pansharpening algorithm was applied to TIR image to create the images which have similar spatial resolution as RGB images and have temperature information in it. Experimental results show that the pansharpening algorithm using the PC1 band and the average of RGB band shows better results for the quantitative evaluation than the other bands, and it has been confirmed that pansharpening results by ATWT (${\grave{A}}$ Trous Wavelet Transform) exhibit superior spectral resolution and spatial resolution than those by HPF (High-Pass Filter) and SFIM (Smoothing Filter-based Intensity Modulation) pansharpening algorithm.

In this study, we tried to analyze the fusion parameters required to produce a high-resolution multispectral image using an image fusion technique and to suggest global fusion parameters. We analyzed the linear regression coefficients that can simulate the panchromatic image, and the fusion coefficients required for producing the fusion image. When the fusion images were produced using the representative fusion parameters, it was confirmed that the difference in DN value between each fusion image was quantitatively smaller than when the optimal fusion parameters were used. Therefore, this study can minimize the regional characteristics reflected in the fused image.

Generally, image fusion is defined as generating re-organized image by merging two or more data using special algorithms. In remote sensing, image fusion technique is called as Pan-sharpening algorithm because it aims to improve the spatial resolution of original multispectral image by using panchromatic image of high-spatial resolution. The pan-sharpened image has been an important task due to various applications such as change detection, digital map creation and urban analysis. However, most approaches have tended to distort the spectral information of the original multispectral data or decrease the spatial quality compared with the panchromatic image. In order to solve these problems, a novel pan-sharpening algorithm is proposed by considering the spectral and spatial characteristics of multispectral image. The algorithm is applied to the KOMPSAT-2 and QuickBird satellite image and the results showed that our method can improve the spectral/spatial quality compared with the existing fusion algorithms.
