The spatial resolution of multispectral images can be improved by merging them with higher resolution image data. A fundamental problem frequently occurred in existing fusion processes, is the distortion of spectral information. This paper presents a spatially adaptive image fusion algorithm which produces visually natural images and retains the quality of local spectral information as well. High frequency information of the high resolution image to be inserted to the resampled multispectral images is controlled by adaptive gains to incorporate the difference of local spectral characteristics between the high and the low resolution images into the fusion. Each gain is estimated to minimize the l$_2$-norm of the error between the original and the estimated pixel values defined in a spatially adaptive window of which the weight are proportional to the spectral correlation measurements of the corresponding regions. This method is applied to a set of co-registered Landsat7 ETM＋ panchromatic and multispectral image data.

최근 대부분의 디지털 이미지 응용분야에서는 영상 처리 및 분석을 위해 고해상도 이미지나 비디오가 요구되고 있다. 한편, 일반적인 영상획득시스템으로부터 획득한 영상신호는 획득하는 과정에서 물리적 영향, 제조 기술의 한계 및 환경적인 영향 등으로 인하여 영상의 화질 저하를 가져온다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기위해 연구되고 있는 방법 중 하나인 초해상도 복원 기술은 동일한 물체를 촬영한 다수의 저해상도 영상으로 고해상도 영상을 만들어내는 영상복원기술이다. 본 논문에서는 S&A (Shift & Add) 방법에 POCS (Projection onto Convex Sets) 이론을 적용하여 기존의 방법보다 개선된 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 알고리즘은 잡음에 약하다는 문제점이 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 제안한 방법에서는 복원단계에 사용되는 참조영상을 POCS이론에 적용하여 기존의 S&A방법과 결합하였다. 또한 광학적 왜곡에 해당하는 카메라 블러(blur) 연산자로 주파수 영역에서 BLPF (Butterworth Low-pass Filter)를 사용하여 기존방법의 문제점인 링잉현상을 해결하였다. 실험결과를 통해 잡음에 강하고 영상의 고주파영역을 향상시킨 제안한 초해상도 방법의 우수성을 확인하였고, 객관적 평가를 위해 기존의 방법과 PSNR (peak signal to noise ratio)을 비교하였다.

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.

The KOrea Multi-Purpose Satellite-2 (KOMPSAT-2) was launched in July 2006 and the main mission of the KOMPSAT-2 is a high resolution imaging for the cartography of Korea peninsula by utilizing Multi Spectral Camera (MSC) images. The camera resolutions are 1 m in panchromatic scene and 4 m in multi-spectral imaging. This paper provides an initial geometric accuracy assessment of the KOMPSAT-2 high resolution image without ground control points and briefly introduces the sensor model of KOMPSAT-2. Also investigated and evaluated the obtained 3-dimensional terrain information using the MSC pass image and scene images acquired from the KOMPSAT-2 satellite.

Using soft classification, it is possible to obtain the land cover proportions from the remotely sensed image. These land cover proportions are then used as input data for a procedure called "super-resolution mapping" to produce the predicted hard land cover layers at higher resolution than the original remotely sensed image. Superresolution mapping can be implemented using a number of algorithms in which the Hopfield Neural Network (HNN) has showed some advantages. The HNN has improved the land cover classification through superresolution mapping greatly with the high resolution data. However, the super-resolution mapping is based on the spatial dependence assumption, therefore it is predicted that the accuracy of resulted land cover classes depends on the relative size of spatial features and the spatial resolution of the remotely sensed image. This research is to evaluate the capability of HNN to implement the super-resolution mapping for SPOT image to create higher resolution land cover classes with different zoom factor.

Low-rank representation methods already achieve many applications in the image reconstruction. However, for high-gradient image patches with rich texture details and strong edge information, it is difficult to find sufficient similar patches. Existing low-rank representation methods usually destroy image critical details and fail to preserve edge structure. In order to promote the performance, a new representation-based image super-resolution reconstruction method is proposed, which combines gradient domain guided image filter with the structure-constrained low-rank representation so as to enhance image details as well as reveal the intrinsic structure of an input image. Firstly, we extract the gradient domain guided filter of each atom in high resolution dictionary in order to acquire high-frequency prior information. Secondly, this prior information is taken as a structure constraint and introduced into the low-rank representation framework to develop a new model so as to maintain the edges of reconstructed image. Thirdly, the approximate optimal solution of the model is solved through alternating direction method of multipliers. After that, experiments are performed and results show that the proposed algorithm has higher performances than conventional state-of-the-art algorithms in both quantitative and qualitative aspects.

In this paper, we propose a consecutive-frame super-resolution method to tackle a moving object problem. The super-resolution is a method restoring a high resolution image from a low resolution image. The super-resolution is classified into two types, briefly, single-frame super-resolution and consecutive-frame super-resolution. Typically, the consecutive-frame super-resolution recovers a better than the single-frame super-resolution, because it use more information from consecutive frames. However, the consecutive-frame super-resolution failed to recover the moving object. Therefore, we proposed an improved method via moving object detection. Experimental results showed that the proposed method restored both the moving object and the background properly.

영상 해상도 개선은 저해상도 획득 영상의 해상도를 개선하여 고해상도 영상을 생성하는 기술이다. 영상 해상도 개선을 위해서는 저해상도 획득 영상의 열화 과정에서 발생하는 손실된 화소 정보를 정확하게 추정하는 것이 중요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 영상 해상도 개선을 위한 다중 부족분 추정 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 획득 영상의 부영상 집합에 알려진 열화 및 복원 과정을 수행하여 서로 다른 형태의 다중 부족분을 추정하고, 추정된 부족분과 획득 영상의 보간 영상의 결합을 통해서 결과 영상을 생성하고, 디블러링을 수행하여 최종 복원 영상을 생성한다. 객관적 화질 측정 지표인 PSNR, SSIM, FSIM으로 비교한 결과 제안한 방법이 보간만을 사용하는 방법들보다 높은 값을 가지는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 결과 영상의 시각적 비교 결과 주관적 관점의 화질도 가장 뛰어난 것을 알 수 있었고, 보간만을 사용하는 방법들보다 빠른 계산시간을 가지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 제안하는 방법은 영상 해상도 개선을 위한 응용 환경에서 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

In this paper, we propose a learning-based super-resolution algorithm. In the proposed algorithm, a multi-resolution wavelet approach is adopted to perform the synthesis of local high-frequency features. To obtain a high-resolution image, wavelet coefficients of two dominant LH- and HL-bands are estimated based on wavelet frames. In order to prepare more efficient training sets, the proposed algorithm utilizes the LH-band and transposed HL-band. The training sets are then used for the estimation of wavelet coefficients for both LH- and HL-bands. Using the estimated high frequency bands, a high resolution image is reconstructed via the wavelet transform. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can synthesize high-quality images.

High-resolution satellite image processing software should be able to ensure accurate, fast, compact data processing in offline or online environment. In this paper, component software for high-resolution satellite image processing is developed using OpenGIS components and real-time data processing architecture. The developed component software is composed of three major packages, which are data provide package, user interface package, and fast data processing package. The data provider package encodes and decodes diverse image/vector data formats and give identical data access methods to developers. The user interface package supports menus, toolbars, dialogs, and events to use easier. The fast data processing package follows the OpenGIS's data processing standards, which can deal with several processors as components with standard procedural functionalities.
