In this paper, a new multispectral image wavelet representation is introduced, based on multiscale fundamental forms. This representation describes gradient information of multispectral images in a multiresolution framework. The representation is in particular extremely suited for the fusion and merging of multispectral images. For fusion as well as for merging, a strategy is described. Experim...

In this paper we propose a novel algorithm for the pansharpening of multispectral images based on the use of a Total Variation (TV) image prior. Within the Bayesian formulation, the proposed methodology incorporates prior knowledge on the expected characteristics of multispectral images, and uses the sensor characteristics to model the observation process of both panchromatic and multispectral ...

an ideal fusion method preserves the spectral information in fused image without spatial distortion. the pca is believed to be a well-known pan-sharpening approach and being widely used for its efficiency and high spatial resolution. however, it can distort the spectral characteristics of multispectral images. the current paper tries to present a new fusion method based on the same concept. in ...

Multispectral images such as multispectral chemical images or multispectral satellite images provide detailed data with information in both the spatial and spectral domains. Many segmentation methods for multispectral images are based on a per-pixel classification, which uses only spectral information and ignores spatial information. A clustering algorithm based on both spectral and spatial inf...

Watermarking represents a potentially effective tool for the protection and verification of ownership rights in remote sensing images. Multispectral images (MSIs) are the main type of images acquired by remote sensing radiometers. In this paper, a robust multispectral image watermarking technique based on the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and the tucker decomposition (TD) is proposed. The co...

This dissertation addresses the advantage of using multispectral narrow-band images over conventional broad-band images for improved face recognition under varying illumination. To verify the effectiveness of multispectral images for improving face recognition performance, three sequential procedures are taken into action: multispectral face image acquisition, image fusion for multispectral and...

In this paper we propose and analyze a globally and locally adaptive super-resolution Bayesian methodology for pansharpening of multispectral images. The methodology incorporates prior knowledge on the expected characteristics of the multispectral images uses the sensor characteristics to model the observation process of both panchromatic and multispectral images and includes information on the...
