I am a Major in the United States Air Force, currently working on a Ph.D. in Imaging Science at the Center for Imaging Science , Rochester Institute of Technology for Professor John R. Schott.
My dissertation research is developing an Image Fusion algorithm for Remote Sensing applications. The algorithm will combine high spectral resolution images (multi or hyperspectral) with high spatial resolution panchromatic image(s). The result could be a high resolution map of the materials in the scene.
The above images are an example of Image Fusion. The left image is a low resolution multispectral image of SE Rochester. Three bands are plotted as a false color infrared image. The pixels correspond to 30 meters ground distance. In the center is a panchromatic (gray scale) image with 10 meter pixels. These two images are fused to create the high resolution multispectral image on the right. The hybrid contains spectral (color) information to identify the materials in the scene, as well as spatial (10 meter) information to locate the objects.
