Improving Hypersharpening for WorldView-3 Data

In this letter, hypersharpening is analyzed in depth by investigating some weaknesses present in its formulation. It is shown that the key formula of the synthesized band variant can be simplified under certain circumstances. In addition, a novel fusion schema is proposed. As a result, the gain factor adopted to weight the injected detail is computed in a different way. This schema can be applied to fuse a wide range of hyperspectral and multispectral data. In this letter, its effectiveness is demonstrated by taking into account the characteristics of WorldView-3 data.
