The proposed approach combines spectral and spatial information based on the fusion of features extracted from panchromatic( PAN) and multispectral( MS) images using sparse autoencoder and its deep version. There are three steps in the proposed method,the first one is to extract spatial information of PAN image,and the second one is to describe spectral information of MS image. Finally,in the third step,the features obtained from PAN and MS images are concatenated directly as a simple fusion feature. The classification is performed using the support vector machine( SVM) and the experiments carried out on two datasets with very high spatial resolution. MS and PAN images from WorldView-2 satellite indicate that the classifier provides an efficient solution and demonstrate that the fusion of the features extracted by deep learning techniques from PAN and MS images performs better than that when these techniques are used separately. In addition,this framework shows that deep learning models can extract and fuse spatial and spectral information greatly,and have huge potential to achieve higher accuracy for classification of multispectral and panchromatic images.展开更多

Thus, the appearance of the color image can improve. In this paper, the effectiveness of three pan-sharpening methods based on the HSI transform approach is investigated. Three models are the hexcone, double hexcones, and Haydn’s approach. Furthermore, the effect of smoothing the low-resolution multispectral image is also investigated. The smoothing techniques are the Gaussian filter and the bilateral filter. The experimental results show that Haydn’s model is superior to others. The effectiveness of smoothing the low-resolution multispectral image is also shown.展开更多

This paper introduces a new method of remote sensing image fusionbased on support vector machine (SVM), using high spatial resolution data SPIN-2 and multi-spectralremote sensing data SPOT-4. Firstly, the new method is established by building a model of remotesensing image fusion based on SVM. Then by using SPIN-2 data and SPOT-4 data, image classificationfusion is tested. Finally, an evaluation of the fusion result is made in two ways. 1) Fromsubjectivity assessment, the spatial resolution of the fused image is improved compared to theSPOT-4. And it is clearly that the texture of the fused image is distinctive. 2) From quantitativeanalysis, the effect of classification fusion is better. As a whole, the re-suit shows that theaccuracy of image fusion based on SVM is high and the SVM algorithm can be recommended forapplication in remote sensing image fusion processes.展开更多
