Intensity hue saturation (IHS) and wavelet decomposition are two distinct fusion methods used for enhancing the spatial resolution of multispectral images by exploiting a high-resolution panchromatic image. In this paper, a combination of the IHS transform and redundant wavelet decomposition is proposed as a general method for fusing multisensor images. The principle consists of transforming low-resolution multispectral images into IHS independent components. The low-resolution intensity component is fused with the high-resolution panchromatic image in the redundant wavelet domain through an appropriate model. Subsequently, the high-resolution intensity produced is substituted to the low-resolution intensity. High spatial resolution multispectral images are then obtained through an inverse IHS transformation. SPOT images are used to illustrate the superiority of this approach over the IHS fuser in terms of preservation of spectral properties.
