Abstract :
There is a need for synthetic products that simulate satellite multispectral data at a higher spatial resolution. The users needs are variable and somehow opposite: needs of high spatial resolution for accurate geometrical description of objects and needs for high spectral resolution for accurate spectral content and subsequent classification process. The ARSIS concept (from its French name "amelioration de la resolution spatiale par injection de structures" that means improvement of the spatial resolution by structure injection) permits to construct such synthetic products by fusion of two sets of data, namely panchromatic images at high spatial resolution and multispectral images at lower spatial resolution. It offers a framework wherein different models can be combined to form different solutions to better satisfy the users needs. An example is given of an Ikonos image of the city of Hasselt, Belgium.
