Abstract
High-frequency injection (HFI)-based methods are proved to be powerful in pansharpening multispectral (MS) images. In this article, based on one of the low-rank and sparse (LRS) decomposition algorithms, i.e. Go Decomposition (GoDec), a HFI-based pansharpening method exploiting spatial structure sharpness of both MS images and a low-frequency panchromatic (PAN) image component is proposed. The spectral and spatial measure of local perceived sharpness (S3) is employed to estimate sharpness of the corresponding MS and low-frequency PAN component blocks, and the sharper one is used to construct the spatial structure of the sharpened MS images. Experimental results with QuickBird, IKONOS and WorldView-2 data demonstrate that the proposed method is comparable with or even better than other popular methods.
