Spatial resolution enhancement of Hyperion hyperspectral data

In this study eight fusion techniques and more especially the Ehlers, Gram-Schmidt, high pass filter, local mean matching (LMM), local mean and variance matching (LMVM), modified IHS (Modihs), Pansharp and PCA, were used for the fusion of Hyperion hyperspectral data with ALI panchromatic data. Both sensors are part of the Earth-Observing 1 satellite. The panchromatic data have a spatial resolution of 10 m while the hyperspectral data have a spatial resolution of 30 m. All the fusion techniques are designed for use with classical multispectral data. Thus, it is quite interesting to investigate the assessment of the common used fusion algorithms with the hyperspectral data.
