Pansharpening - Pansharpening

Perform P+XS pansharpening

Detailed description

This application performs P+XS pansharpening. Pansharpening is a process of merging high-resolution panchromatic and lower resolution multispectral imagery to create a single high-resolution color image. Algorithms available in the applications are: RCS, bayesian fusion and Local Mean and Variance Matching(LMVM).

Parameters

This section describes in details the parameters available for this application. Table [1] presents a summary of these parameters and the parameters keys to be used in command-line and programming languages. Application key is Pansharpening .

Example

To run this example in command-line, use the following:

otbcli_Pansharpening -inp QB_Toulouse_Ortho_PAN.tif -inxs QB_Toulouse_Ortho_XS.tif -out Pansharpening.tif uint16

To run this example from Python, use the following code snippet:

#!/usr/bin/python

# Import the otb applications package
import otbApplication

# The following line creates an instance of the Pansharpening application
Pansharpening = otbApplication.Registry.CreateApplication("Pansharpening")

# The following lines set all the application parameters:
Pansharpening.SetParameterString("inp", "QB_Toulouse_Ortho_PAN.tif")

Pansharpening.SetParameterString("inxs", "QB_Toulouse_Ortho_XS.tif")

Pansharpening.SetParameterString("out", "Pansharpening.tif")
Pansharpening.SetParameterOutputImagePixelType("out", 3)

# The following line execute the application
Pansharpening.ExecuteAndWriteOutput()
