Pansharpened images are widely used synthetic representations of the Earth surface characterized by both a high spatial resolution and spectral diversity. They usually generated extracting details from high-resolution PANchromatic image injecting them into low multispectral image. The injection is performed through coefficients, whose values can be either uniform for whole (global methods) or spatially variant (context-adaptive (CA) approaches). In this paper, we propose CA approach in which...

Many powerful pansharpening approaches exploit the functional relation between fusion of PANchromatic (PAN) and MultiSpectral (MS) images. To this purpose, modulation transfer function MS sensor is typically used, being easily approximated as a Gaussian filter whose analytic expression fully specified by gain at Nyquist frequency.

A recurrent concern in cloud detection approaches is the high misclassification rate for pixels close to edges. We tackle this problem by introducing a novel penalty term within classical maximum posteriori probability-Markov random field (MAP-MRF) approach. To improve classification rate, such term, which we suggest two different functional forms, accounts predictable motion of volumes across images. Two mass tracking techniques are proposed. The first one an effective and efficient...
