Many satellite image fusion techniques have been developed in order to produce a high resolution multispectral (MS) image by combining a high resolution panchromatic (PAN) image and a low resolution MS image. Heretofore, most high resolution image fusion techniques have used IKONOS and QuickBird images. Recently, GeoEye-1, offering the highest resolution of any commercial imaging system, was launched. In this study, we have experimented with GeoEye-1 images in order to evaluate which fusion algorithms are suitable for these images. This paper presents compares and evaluates the efficiency of five image fusion techniques, the $\grave{a}$ trous algorithm based additive wavelet transformation (AWT) fusion techniques, the Principal Component analysis (PCA) fusion technique, Gram-Schmidt (GS) spectral sharpening, Pansharp, and the Smoothing Filter based Intensity Modulation (SFIM) fusion technique, for the fusion of a GeoEye-1 image. The results of the experiment show that the AWT fusion techniques maintain more spatial detail of the PAN image and spectral information of the MS image than other image fusion techniques. Also, the Pansharp technique maintains information of the original PAN and MS images as well as the AWT fusion technique.

To solve the problems of the low image contrast, fuzzy edge details and edge details missing in noisy image fusion, this study proposes a noisy infrared and visible light image fusion algorithm based on non-subsample contourlet transform (NSCT) and an improved bilateral filter, which uses NSCT to decompose an image into a low-frequency component and high-frequency component. High-frequency noise and edge information are mainly distributed in the high-frequency component, and the improved bilateral filtering method is used to process the high-frequency component of two images, filtering the noise of the images and calculating the image detail of the infrared image's high-frequency component. It can extract the edge details of the infrared image and visible image as much as possible by superimposing the high-frequency component of infrared image and visible image. At the same time, edge information is enhanced and the visual effect is clearer. For the fusion rule of low-frequency coefficient, the local area standard variance coefficient method is adopted. At last, we decompose the high- and low-frequency coefficient to obtain the fusion image according to the inverse transformation of NSCT. The fusion results show that the edge, contour, texture and other details are maintained and enhanced while the noise is filtered, and the fusion image with a clear edge is obtained. The algorithm could better filter noise and obtain clear fused images in noisy infrared and visible light image fusion.

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.

Visible-infrared image fusion is a process of synthesizing an infrared image and a visible image into a fused image. This process synthesizes the complementary advantages of both images. The infrared image is able to capture a target object in dark or foggy environments. However, the utility of the infrared image is hindered by the blurry appearance of objects. On the other hand, the visible image clearly shows an object under normal lighting conditions, but it is not ideal in dark or foggy environments. In this paper, we propose a multi-guided filter and a real-time image fusion method. The proposed multi-guided filter is a modification of the guided filter for multiple guidance images. Using this filter, we propose a real-time image fusion method. The speed of the proposed fusion method is much faster than that of conventional image fusion methods. In an experiment, we compare the proposed method and the conventional methods in terms of quantity, quality, fusing speed, and flickering artifacts. The proposed method synthesizes 57.93 frames per second for an image size of $320{\times}270$. Based on our experiments, we confirmed that the proposed method is able to perform real-time processing. In addition, the proposed method synthesizes flicker-free video.

위성영상의 융합에 있어, 가장 중요한 점은 전정영상의 공간적 세밀함과 다중분광영상의 분광정보 모두를 보존하는 것이다. 다양한 영상융합 기법 중에서, IHS 변환을 이용한 융합기법은 폭넓게 사용되고 있으며, 계산과정이 매우 단순하다는 장점을 갖고 있다. 본 연구에서는, fast IHS 변환과 trade-off 파라미터 $\alpha^i$를 이용한 융합기법을 제안한다. 제안한 융합 기법은 분광 ERGAS와 공간 ERGAS의 평가를 통하여, 융합영상에서 분광정보와 공간적 세밀함 사이의 trade-off 최적화를 가능하게 한다. IKONOS 영상의 실험결과, 제안한 기법은 기존의 fast IHS 변환을 이용한 융합기법에 비해 공간적 세밀함과 분광정보의 보존측면에서 더 효과적임을 확인할 수 있었다.

Currently available image fusion methods are not efficient for fusing the Landsat 7 images. Significant color distortion is one of the major problems. In this paper, using the well-known wavelet based method for data fusion between high-resolution panchromatic and low-resolution multispectral satellite images, we performed Landsat 7 image fusion. Based on the experimental results obtained from this study, we analyzed some reasons for color distortion. A new approach using the biorthogonal wavelets based method for data fusion is presented. This new method has reached an optimum fusion result - with the same spectral resolution as the multispectral image and the same spatial resolution as the panchromatic image with minimum artifacts.

Mobility and cloud platform have become the dominant paradigm to develop web services dealing with huge and diverse digital contents for scientific solution or engineering application. These two trends are technically combined into mobile cloud computing environment taking beneficial points from each. The intention of this study is to design and implement a mobile cloud application for remotely sensed image fusion for the further practical geo-based mobile services. In this implementation, the system architecture consists of two parts: mobile web client and cloud application server. Mobile web client is for user interface regarding image fusion application processing and image visualization and for mobile web service of data listing and browsing. Cloud application server works on OpenStack, open source cloud platform. In this part, three server instances are generated as web server instance, tiling server instance, and fusion server instance. With metadata browsing of the processing data, image fusion by Bayesian approach is performed using functions within Orfeo Toolbox (OTB), open source remote sensing library. In addition, similarity of fused images with respect to input image set is estimated by histogram distance metrics. This result can be used as the reference criterion for user parameter choice on Bayesian image fusion. It is thought that the implementation strategy for mobile cloud application based on full open sources provides good points for a mobile service supporting specific remote sensing functions, besides image fusion schemes, by user demands to expand remote sensing application fields.

본 연구에서는 영상융합 기법을 적용하여 고해상 다분광 영상을 제작할 때 요구되는 융합 파라미터를 분석하고, 하나의 값으로 대표될 수 있는 융합 파라미터를 제시하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여, 한반도 영역을 촬영한 115장의 KOMPSAT-3A 영상을 대상으로 전정색 영상을 모사할 수 있는 선형회귀계수와, 융합영상 제작에 요구되는 융합계수를 분석하였으며, 대표 선형회귀계수와 대표 융합계수를 제시하였다. 대표 융합 파라미터를 사용하여 융합영상을 제작하였을 때, 각 융합영상 간 DN값의 차이가 최적의 융합 파라미터를 사용하였을 때보다 정량적으로 감소함을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 융합영상 제작에 반영되는 지역적 특성을 최소화할 수 있는 것으로, 융합영상을 하나의 제품 측면에서 제공할 때 활용 가치가 높다.

본 논문에서는 서로 다른 감지장치로부터 획득한, 특성이 상이한 다중영상인 가시광선 영상과 적외선 영상의 까다로운 영상융합을 수행할 수 있는 웨이블렛 기반 MAD순서통계량을 논의한다. 상이한 두 영상의 효과적인 영상융합을 위하여 근사부분대역의 웨이블렛 계수에 가중평균(Weighted average)법으로 융합처리하고 상세 부분대역의 웨이블렛 계수에 중앙절대편차(MAD: Median Absolute Deviation)를 이용한 임계값을 비교하여 두 영상의 장점만을 표현하는 방법을 제안한다. 특히 기존의 융합규칙들은 두 영상간의 화소나 지표 값의 대 소 관계에 의해 융합 영상이 이루어짐으로서 왜곡요소가 융합영상에 포함되어 왜곡된 융합영상을 얻을 가능성이 높다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위하여 제안 방법의 임계값은 잡음과 같은 왜곡요소를 배재하고 영상의 통계량을 고려하여 설정하였다. 다양한 다중영상을 기존 영상 융합 방법들과 비교하여 제안한 영상융합 방법의 우수성을 종합적 실험결과를 통하여 확인할 수 있었다. 제안된 방법은 실시간처리를 보장하기위하여 DSP와 FPGA를 이용한 하드웨어로 구현하였으며 Xilinx FPGA를 사용하였다.
