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

NOTES

EXAMPLE

The module is fairly easy to use. Arbitrary examples:

Pansharpening of one band

i.fusion.hpf pan=Panchromatic msx=Red

Pansharpening of multiple bands

i.fusion.hpf pan=Panchromatic msx=Red,Green,Blue,NIR

North Carolina: pansharpening of multiple bands

Example using the North Carolina sample dataset, landsat mapset:
# pansharpening of R, G, B, NIR
g.region raster=lsat7_2002_80 -p
i.fusion.hpf pan=lsat7_2000_80 msx=lsat7_2000_10,lsat7_2000_20,lsat7_2000_30,lsat7_2000_40 suffix=_hpf

# visual comparison
d.mon wx0
d.rgb b=lsat7_2000_10 g=lsat7_2000_20 r=lsat7_2000_30

# color balance pansharpened scene
i.colors.enhance b=lsat7_2000_10_hpf g=lsat7_2000_20_hpf r=lsat7_2000_30_hpf
d.rgb b=lsat7_2000_10_hpf g=lsat7_2000_20_hpf r=lsat7_2000_30_hpf
