ABSTRACT:
A method for processing remotely acquired imagery includes obtaining imagery data defining a first image of a panchromatic image type, the first image having a first spatial resolution, and obtaining imagery data defining a second image of a multi-spectral image type, the second image having a second spatial resolution lower than the first spatial resolution. The method also includes obtaining a mapping function specifying a position of pixels in the first image with respect to pixels in the second image and adapting the mapping function to a high common spatial resolution higher than the second spatial resolution. The method further includes generating a third set of imagery data defining a third image of a panchromatic type based on the first set of imagery data and the adapted mapping function and having the high common spatial resolution and adjusting the mapping function based on a first difference between the first and the third images at the high common spatial resolution.
