Abstract
The present invention presents four fusion approaches, which can be directly applied to Worldview-3 (WV-3) images. Moreover, they can also be applied to other current or future satellite images that have similar characteristics of WV-3. The present invention also presents data processing methods, including image fusion method, anomaly detection method, material classification method, and concentration estimation method that utilize the high-resolution images generated by the mentioned fusion methods. There are four fusion approaches disclosed in the present invention, e.g. Parallel one-step fusion approach; Sequential fusion of various bands; Sequential-Parallel fusion; and Parallel-Sequential fusion.
