Multispectral image capture, unlike traditional RGB imaging, records the colour signals in a scene. Most available devices are either filter-wheel multiple exposure systems or point-measuring diffraction grating based devices. In this article we introduce a 2D matrix, full spectral, single exposure capture system – the Applied Spectral Imaging SpectraCube – which determines multispectral images...

For scaling up low resolution multispectral images (LRMIs) with high resolution panchromatic image (HRPI), intensity-hue-saturation (IHS) can produce satisfactory spatial enhancement but usually introduces spectral distortion in the fused high resolution multispectral images (HRMIs). In this paper, to minimize this problem, we present a generalized intensity modulation (GIM) by extending the IH...

Abstract— The combined image fusion method which proposed in this paper integrates the information from multiple fusion algorithms which is more suitable for human visual perception. Multispectral images (SPOT) have low spatial resolution. So, integrating of low-resolution multispectral and high-resolution panchromatic (IKONOS) images is a technique for improving the spatial quality of multispe...

In this work a pixel-level fusion technique for enhancing the visual interpretation of multispectral images is proposed. The technique takes into consideration the inherent high correlation of the RGB bands of natural color images, a fact strictly related to the color perception attributes of the human eye. The method provides dimensionality reduction in the multispectral vector space, while th...

Feature selection and dimensionality reduction are crucial research fields in pattern recognition. This work presents the application of a novel technique on dimensionality reduction to deal with multispectral images. A distance based on mutual information is used to construct a hierarchical clustering structure with the multispectral bands. Moreover, a criterion function is used to choose auto...

Compression of remote-sensing images can be necessary in various stages of the image life, and especially on-board a satellite before transmission to the ground station. Although on-board CPU power is quite limited, it is now possible to implement sophisticated real-time compression techniques, provided that complexity constraints are taken into account at design time. In this paper we consider...

Generally, image fusion methods are classified into three levels: pixel level (iconic), feature level (symbolic) and knowledge or decision level. In this paper we focus on iconic techniques for image fusion. Usually, image fusion techniques such as intensity-huesaturation (IHS) or Brovey are used to fuse high spatial resolution panchromatic and lower spatial resolution multispectral images that...

LED illumination based multispectral imaging is getting much attention in recent years due to its fast computer controlled switching ability, availability of many different LEDs, robustness, and cost effectiveness. In this paper, we propose a system which uses an RGB camera along with two or three combinations of three different types of LEDs in order to acquire multispectral images of six or n...
