A spectral preserved model based on spectral contribution and dependence with detail injection for pansharpening.

Pansharpening integrates the high spectral content of multispectral (MS) images and the fine spatial information of the corresponding panchromatic (PAN) images to produce a high spectral-spatial resolution image. Traditional pansharpening methods compensate for the spatial lack of the MS image using the PAN image details, which easily causes spectral distortion. To achieve spectral fidelity, a spectral preservation model based on spectral contribution and dempendence with detail injection for pansharpening is proposed.

Atmospheric transmittance of an absorbing gas. 7. Further improvements to the OPTRAN 6 approach.

We present recent improvements in accuracy to the fast transmittance-calculation procedure, Optical Path Transmittance (OPTRAN), which is used for satellite data assimilation at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. These improvements are (1) to change the absorber space used for ozone, (2) to add new predictors for each gas, and (3) to treat the water vapor line absorption and water continuum absorption as separate terms. Significant improvements in the accuracy of the OPTRAN algorithm for High-Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounders (HIRS) and the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) are demonstrated.

Alternative to the effective transmittance approach for the calculation of polychromatic transmittances in rapid transmittance models.

Many current rapid transmittance algorithms, specifically the Optical Path Transmittance (OPTRAN), are based on use of effective transmittances to account for the effects of polychromatic radiation on the transmittance calculations. We document how OPTRAN was modified by replacing the effective transmittance concept with a correction term. Use of the correction term solves some numerical problems that were associated with use of effective transmittances, greatly reduces the line-by-line computational burden, and allows for the efficient inclusion of more gases.
