Abstract:

Pan-sharpening is a fundamental task for remote sensing image processing. It aims at creating a high-resolution multispectral (HRMS) image from a multispectral (MS) image and a panchromatic (PAN) image. In this article, a new band-independent encoder-decoder network is proposed for pan-sharpening. The network takes a single band of the MS (BMS) image, the PAN image, and the low-resolution PAN (LRPAN) image as inputs. The output of the network is the corresponding band of high-resolution MS (HRBMS) image. In this way, the network can process MS images with any number of bands. The overall structure of the network consists of two encoder-decoder modules at low-resolution and high-resolution, respectively. An auxiliary LRPAN image is used to speed up the training and improve the performance. The partly shared network and hierarchical structure for low-resolution and high-resolution enable a better fusion of features extracted from different scales. With a fast fine-tuning strategy, the trained model can be applied to images from different sensors. Experiments performed on different data sets demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms several state-of-the-art pan-sharpening methods in both visual appearance and objective indexes, and the single-band evaluation results further verify the superiority of the proposed method.
