Research on Fusion Approach for Hyperspectral Image and Multispectral Image of HJ-1A

The vacancy of hyperspectral image (HSI) in China is made up by HJ-1A satellite, which makes more study and application possible. But comparing with other HSI, low spatial resolution turns into a big limiting obstacle for application. In order to improve the HSI quality and make full use of the existing RS data, this paper proposed a fusion approach basing on 3D wavelet transform (3D WT) to fusing HJ-1A HSI and Multispectral image (MSI) using their 3D structure. Contrasting with the principal component transform (PCA) and Gram-Schmidt fusion approach, which are mature at present, 3D WT fusion approach use all bands of MSI to its advantage and the fusion result perform better in both spatial and spectral quality.
