원격탐사에서 분광 및 공간정보가 왜곡되는 현상들은 영상융합 알고리즘의 가장 큰 문제점으로 알려져 있다. 특히, Worldview-2 위성영상은 멀티스펙트럴 밴드 간 공간정보의 지역적인 비유사성이 존재하기 때문에, 기존의 융합 기법에 의한 융합영상들은 건물이나 차량 등의 개체 등의 공간정보가 왜곡되는 문제를 지닌다. 본 연구에서는 Worldview-2 위성영상의 융합과정에서 발생하는 공간정보의 지역적 변위를 최소화하기 위한 융합 기법을 제안하였다. Worldview-2 위성영상에 제안된 기법을 적용한 결과, 기존의 영상 융합기법에 비하여 분광 정보 및 공간정보의 품질이 향상된 융합영상을 생성할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Worldview-3 satellite sensor provides panchromatic image with high-spatial resolution and 8-band multispectral images. Therefore, an image-sharpening technique, which sharpens the spatial resolution of multispectral images by using high-spatial resolution panchromatic images, is essential for various applications of Worldview-3 images based on image interpretation and processing. The existing pansharpening algorithms tend to tradeoff between spectral distortion and spatial enhancement. In this study, we applied six pansharpening algorithms to Worldview-3 satellite imagery and assessed the quality of pansharpened images qualitatively and quantitatively. We also analyzed the effects of time lag for each multispectral band during the pansharpening process. Quantitative assessment of pansharpened images was performed by comparing ERGAS (Erreur Relative Globale Adimensionnelle de Synthèse), SAM (Spectral Angle Mapper), Q-index and sCC (spatial Correlation Coefficient) based on real data set. In experiment, quantitative results obtained by MRA (Multi-Resolution Analysis)-based algorithm were better than those by the CS (Component Substitution)-based algorithm. Nevertheless, qualitative quality of spectral information was similar to each other. In addition, images obtained by the CS-based algorithm and by division of two multispectral sensors were shaper in terms of spatial quality than those obtained by the other pansharpening algorithm. Therefore, there is a need to determine a pansharpening method for Worldview-3 images for application to remote sensing data, such as spectral and spatial information-based applications.

Lee (2008) proposed the pansharpening method to reconstruct at the higher resolution the multispectral images which agree with the spectral values observed from the sensor of the lower resolution values. It outperformed over several current techniques for the statistical analysis with quantitative measures, and generated the imagery of good quality for visual interpretation. However, if a small object stretches over two adjacent pixels with different spectral characteristics at the lower resolution, the pixels of the object at the higher resolution may have different multispectral values according to their location even though they have a same intensity in the panchromatic image of higher resolution. To correct this problem, this study employed an iterative technique similar to the image restoration scheme of Point-Jacobian iterative MAP estimation. The effect of pansharpening on image segmentation/classification was assessed for various techniques. The method was applied to the IKONOS image acquired over the area around Anyang City of Korea.

The goal of hyperspectral pansharpening is to combine a hyperspectral image (HSI) with a panchromatic image (PANI) derived from the same scene to obtain a single fused image. In this paper, a new hyperspectral pansharpening approach using adaptive weighted regression and guided filter is proposed. First, the intensity information (INT) of the HSI is obtained by the adaptive weighted regression algorithm. Especially, the optimization formula is solved to obtain the closed solution to reduce the calculation amount. Then, the proposed method proposes a new way to obtain the sufficient spatial information from the PANI and INT by guided filtering. Finally, the fused HSI is obtained by adding the extracted spatial information to the interpolated HSI. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves better property in preserving the spectral information as well as enhancing the spatial detail compared with other excellent approaches in visual interpretation and objective fusion metrics.

열적외선 영상은 육안으로 식별 할 수 없는 물체를 감지할 수 있는 특성을 가지고 있으며, 접근 불가지역의 정보를 쉽게 얻을 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 열적외선 영상은 상대적으로 낮은 공간 해상도를 지니는 한계점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 무인 항공기를 활용하여 취득한 영상에 대하여 위성영상에 적용되는 영상융합 알고리즘의 적용 가능성을 연구하였다. RGB 영상은 TIR (Thermal InfraRed) 영상보다 높은 공간 해상도를 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 상대적으로 낮은 공간 해상도를 갖는 TIR 영상에 영상융합 알고리즘을 적용하여 RGB 영상과 같은 공간 해상도를 가지며 온도정보를 가지는 융합영상을 생성하고자 한다. 실험결과, PC1 밴드와 RGB 밴드의 평균값을 이용하여 영상융합 알고리즘을 수행한 경우, 다른 밴드를 활용하여 연구를 수행한 경우보다 정량적 평가에 대해서 더 좋은 결과가 나타냈으며, ATWT (${\grave{A}}$ Trous Wavelet Transform) 기법에 의한 융합영상이 HPF (High-Pass Filter) 및 SFIM (Smoothing Filter-based Intensity Modulation) 기법에 의한 융합영상보다 더 뛰어난 분광해상도 및 공간 해상도를 나타냈다.

This study presents a pansharpening method, so called FitPAN, to synthesize multispectral images at a higher resolution by exploiting a high-resolution image acquired in panchromatic modality. FitPAN is a modified version of the quadratic programming approach proposed in (Lee, 2008), which is designed to generate synthesized multispectral images similar to the multispectral images that would have been observed by the corresponding sensor at the same high resolution. The proposed scheme aims at reconstructing the multispectral images at the higher resolution with as less spectral distortion as possible. This study also proposes a sharpening process to eliminate some distortions appeared in the fused image of the higher resolution. It employs the Point-Jacobian MAP iteration utilizing the contextual information of the original panchromatic image. In this study, the new method was applied to the IKONOS 1m panchromatic and 4m multispectral data, and the results were compared with them of several current approaches. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can achieve significant improvement in both spectral and block distortion.

This study presents an approach to synthesize multispectral images at a higher resolution by exploiting a high-resolution image acquired in panchromatic modality. The synthesized images should be similar to the multispectral images that would have been observed by the corresponding sensor at the same high resolution. The proposed scheme is designed to reconstruct the multispectral images at the higher resolution with as less color distortion as possible. It uses a regression model of the second order to fit panchromatic data to multispectral observations. Based on the regression model, the multispectral images at the higher spatial resolution of the panchromatic image are optimized by a quadratic programming. In this study, the new method was applied to the IKONOS 1m panchromatic and 4m multispectral data, and the results were compared with them of several current approaches. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can achieve significant improvement over other methods.

원격탐사 분야에서 고해상도의 멀티스펙트럴 영상은 위성센서의 기술적인 제약 때문에 직접적으로 취득하기 어렵다. 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위하여 다양한 위성영상 융합 기법이 제안되어졌다. 그러나, 대부분의 영상융합기법들은 원 멀티스펙트럴 영상의 분광정보를 왜곡시키거나 고해상도 흑백영상의 공간해상도에 비하여 융합영상의 공간해상도가 저하되는 문제점을 지닌다. 최근 들어 융합영상의 분광왜곡을 최소화시키면 서 공간해상도를 효율적으로 증가시킬 수 있는 공간상관도 기반의 하이브리드 융합 기법이 제안되었다. 본 연구에서는 하이브리드 융합기법에 다양한 공간상관도 추출 식을 적용하여 보고 이에 따른 분광/공간정보 왜곡의 양을 비교 평가하였다. 실험 결과 라플라시안 필터를 이용한 하이브리드 융합 기법이 다른 고주파 정보 추출 기법에 비하여 하이브리드 융합 기법에 효과적으로 적용할 수 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Many applications using satellite data from high-resolution multispectral sensors require an image fusion step, known as pansharpening, before processing and analyzing the multispectral images when spatial fidelity is crucial. Image fusion methods are to improve images with higher spatial and spectral resolutions by reducing spectral distortion, which occurs on image fusion processing. The image fusion methods can be classified into MRA (Multi-Resolution Analysis) and CSA (Component Substitution Analysis) approaches. To suggest the efficient image fusion method for Pleiades and KOMPSAT (Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite) 3 satellites, this study will evaluate image fusion methods for multispectral and panchromatic images. HPF (High-Pass Filtering), SFIM (Smoothing Filter-based Intensity Modulation), GS (Gram Schmidt), and GSA (Adoptive GS) were selected for MRA and CSA based image fusion methods and applied on multispectral and panchromatic images. Their performances were evaluated using visual and quality index analysis. HPF and SFIM fusion results presented low performance of spatial details. GS and GSA fusion results had enhanced spatial information closer to panchromatic images, but GS produced more spectral distortions on urban structures. This study presented that GSA was effective to improve spatial resolution of multispectral images from Pleiades 1A and KOMPSAT 3.
