Examination of image fusion using synthetic variable ratio (SVR) technique

Abstract

The current study examines different approaches of computing synthetic variable ratio (SVR) technique of image fusion using Landsat ETM+ and IRS‐pan image. The study area is located on a tropical landscape of southeastern Bangladesh. The research work explores an optimal SVR fusion method. The technique functions well in image colour and radiometry if all necessary assumptions are followed. Complications arise due to violation of those assumptions which are also being discussed in the article.
