Abstract
An image processing system using hyperspherical pan-sharpening. The image processing system of the present invention includes circuitry for converting the multispectral image into a hyperspherical color space, matching the intensities of the multispectral image to the intensities of the corresponding panchromatic image and then retransforming the color space back the original multispectral image. The intensity matching of the present invention includes modification of the intensities of the multispectral images based on dynamically generated statistical models and a selected sharpening parameter β.
