Abstract

A novel remote sensing image fusion method is proposed based on integer wavelet transformation and ordered nonnegative independent component analysis (IWT-ONICA) to take advantage of the IWT characteristics of multi-resolution and high-speed computation and the fact that independent component analysis can remove higher-order redundancy. The proposed method is applied to the fusion of IKONOS satellite images. Statistical and visual results show that IWT-ONICA is superior to other fusion algorithms in terms of clarity and visual effect, while evaluation indicators such as the peak signal-to-noise ratio, correlation coefficient, spectral angle mapper, and relative dimensionless global error confirm its superior performance.
