Abstract

A new high frequency modulation fusion method is proposed to improve spectral quality of GeoEye-1 fusion image with high resolution. The modulation transfer function (MTF)used as a filter for degrading image is first measured from GeoEye-1 images. High frequency modulating parameters are then obtained based on the minimum mean square error criterion. Fused images obtained by using the proposed method have spatial resolution close to non-degraded pan images. Compared with fusion methods of weighted high-pass filtering used in ERDAS IMAGINE and MTF-GIF, the proposed method is the best in terms of preservation of spectral information and spatial resolution.

Key words： image fusion; modulation transfer function; resolution degradation; GeoEye-1 image
