Abstract:  A high-resolution color epipolar image generation method is proposed based on image fusion. A pair of panchromatic stereo images is fused with registered multispectral images. Approximate epipolar images based on projection reference plane (PRP) are then generated according to the practical epipolarity model for linear pushbroom satellite stereo-imagery. Thus, generation of high-resolution color epipolar images is realized.Experimental results of the ZY-3 data show that the proposed method has the same measurement performance in revealing true terrain features, and can provide more information and better visual interpretation.

Key words: ZY-3, image fusion, color stereo visualization, epipolar image
