Remote sensing image fusion method based on depth feature extraction

Abstract Remote sensing image fusion involves combining data from various remote sensing sensors or merging multiple images acquired by the same sensor but in different spectral bands to create a superior quality composite image, high resolution, multi-band, and multi-temporal remote sensing image through certain algorithms and technologies. By utilizing fusion techniques, remote sensing images of varying bands, resolutions, and phases can be combined to enhance the accuracy of ground object information. This paper introduces a remote sensing image fusion method that leverages deep learning for depth feature extraction. Swin Transformer makes full use of the characteristics of the relationship between adjacent pixels, and adaptively extracts panchromatic image (PAN) and multispectral image (MS) features through two adaptive feature extraction channels. High-quality satellite data is employed to confirm the efficacy of the suggested approach, with the findings demonstrating strong performance in ERGAS, SCC, SSIM, and PSNR, and other evaluation indexes and has good spectral information fidelity and spatial information integration degree.
