    L0-Norm based Image Pansharpening by using population-based algorithms

    Günen, Mehmet Akif; Pérez-Delgado, María-Luisa; Beşdok, Erkan

    Earth observation satellites capture panchromatic images at high spatial resolution and multispectral images at lower resolution to optimize the use of their onboard energy sources. This results in a technical necessity to synthesize high-resolution multispectral images from these data. Pansharpening techniques aim to combine the spatial detail of panchromatic images with the spectral information of multispectral images. However, due to the discrete nature of these images and their varying local statistical properties, many pansharpening methods suffer from numerical artifacts such as chromatic and spatial distortions. This paper introduces the L0-Norm-based pansharpening method (L0pan), which addressed these challenges by maximizing the number of similar pixels between the synthesized pansharpened image and the original panchromatic and multispectral images. L0pan was optimized using a population-based colony search algorithm, enabling it to effectively balance both chromatic fidelity and spatial resolution. Extensive experiments across nine different datasets and comparison with nine other pansharpening methods using ten quality metrics demonstrated that L0pan significantly outperformed its counterparts. Notably, the colony search algorithm yielded the best overall results, highlighting the algorithm’s strength in refining pansharpening accuracy. This study contributed to the advancement of pansharpening techniques, offering a method that preserved both chromatic and spatial details more effectively than existing approaches.

    QUALITY ASSESSMENT of PANSHARPENED RASAT and LANDSAT-8 IMAGES USING SYNTHETIC SENTINEL-2 PANCHROMATIC IMAGE

    Gunen, M.A.; Karas, I.R.; Ben Ahmed, M.; Boudhir, A.A.; Ane, B.K.

    Technical and physical limitations often do not allow images to be acquired with high spatial and spectral resolution. Pansharpened images obtained by fusing high spatial resolution panchromatic images and multi-spectral images are widely used in GIS applications. In this study, it is aimed to increase the spatial resolution of the RASAT and Landsat-8 multispectral satellite images with synthetic Sentinel-2 panchromatic data. Six different pansharpening methods were used to test the success of the synthetic panchromatic data generation method using dataset with two different land use/land cover properties. Seven full reference image quality assessment metrics and two referenceless image quality assessment metrics were used to perform quantitative comparison.
