  1. Spatial and Spectral Evaluation of Image Fusion Methods Sascha Klonus Manfred Ehlers Institute for Geoinformatics and Remote Sensing University of Osnabrück

  2. Content • Introduction Image Fusion • Test Site • Fusion Results • Color Distortions • Evaluation Methods and Results • Ehlers Fusion • Conclusions and Future Work

  3. Data Fusion: Why is it Necessary? • Remote sensors have different spatial resolution for panchromatic and multispectral imagery • The ratios vary between 1:2 and 1:5 • For multisensor fusion the ratios can exceed 1:30(e.g. Ikonos/Landsat)

  4. Objectives of Image Fusion • Sharpen images • Improve geometric corrections • Provide stereo-viewing capabilities • Enhance certain features • Complement data sets • Detect changes • Substitute missing information • Replace defective data Pohl & van Genderen (1998)

  5. Meaning of Pan-Sharpening Spatial + Spectral panchromatic & high geometric resolution multi-/hyperspectral image & low geometric resolution multi-/hyperspectral & high geometric resolution

  6. Fusion Methods • Color Transformations • Modified IHS Transformation • Statistical Methods • Principal Component Merge • Numerical Methods • Brovey • CN Spectral Sharpening • Gram-Schmidt Spectral Sharpening • Wavelet based Fusion • Combined Methods • Ehlers Fusion

  8. Original Data Quickbird Panchromatic image (2004-09-04) Quickbird Multispectral image (2004-09-04) Formosat Multispectral image (2004-01-30) Ikonos Multispectral image (2005-08-03)

  9. Single Sensor Fusion: Quickbird Fused with CN Spectral Sharpening Fused with Ehlers Fused with Brovey Fused with Gram-Schmidt Quickbird Multispectral image Fused with Wavelet Fused with modified IHS Fused with PC

  10. Multisensor Fusion: Ikonos Fused with Ehlers Fused with CN Spectral Sharpening Fused with Brovey Fused with Gram-Schmidt Fused with PC Fused with Wavelet Fused with modified IHS Ikonos Multispectral image

  11. Multisensor Fusion: Formosat Fused with Ehlers Fused with PC Fused with modified IHS Fused with Gram-Schmidt Fused with Brovey Fused with CN Spectral Sharpening Fused with Wavelet Formosat Multispectral image

  12. Fusion Problem: Color Distortion • Panchromatic band has a different spectral sensitivity • Multisensoral differences (e.g. Ikonos and SPOT merge) • Multitemporal (seasonal) changes between pan and ms image data • Inconsistent panchromatic information is fused into the multispectral bands

  13. Spectral Comparison Methods (1) • RMSE s = standard deviation org = Original image fused = Fused image x = Mean • Correlation coefficients • Visual (Structure and Colour Preservation)

  16. Spectral Comparison Methods (2) Per Pixel Deviation Fused image (Formosat 2m) Degraded to ground resolution of original image(Formosat = 8m) Result: Vector containing the deviation per pixel Degrade Original multispectral image (Formosat 8m)

  30. Results • Ehlers Fusion shows the best overall results in all images • It works also if the panchromatic Information does not match the spectral sensitivity of the merged bands (multitemporal and multisensoral fusion) • Its performance is superior to standard fusion techniques (IHS, Brovey Transform, PC Merge) • Wavelet preserves the spectral characteristics at the cost of spatial improvement • Ehlers Fusion is integrated in a commercial image processing system (Erdas Imagine 9.1)

  31. Future Work • Fusion of radar- and optical Data • Development of one method to evaluate the spatial and spectral quality of an fused image • Comparison with the algorithm of Zhang (PCI Geomatica) • Research on automation for filter design
