Abstract
A system for processing remotely acquired imagery includes a storage element () for receiving first and second sets of imagery data associated metadata defining a first image of a panchromatic image type and a second image of a multi-spectral image type (). The system also includes a processing element () communicatively coupled to the storage element and configured for obtaining a mapping between pixels in the first image and the second image based on the associated metadata (). The processing element is further configured for generating a third set of imagery data defining a third image of a panchromatic type based on the second set of imagery data (). The processing element is also configured for generating an alternate mapping for the first and second images based on comparing areas of pixels in the first and third images that are non-corresponding according to the mapping function ().
