A way of increasing the spatial resolution of SPOT multispectral images (XS) using the corresponding panchromatic image (P) is presented here. Existing methods for merging P and XS are analyzed, before presenting a new method which aims at simulating 10 m resolution multispectral images that contain the same spectral information at the XS images. This method, called ARSIS after its French name 'Amelioration de la Resolution Spatiale par Injection de Structures', is based upon multiresolution analysis and wavelet transform. Different versions have been implemented, which differ on the model that describes the similarity of the spatial variability on P and XS. ARSIS can also be applied to other sensors, featuring different spectral bands and spatial resolutions.
