Pan-sharpening function

The Pan-sharpening function uses a higher-resolution panchromatic image (raster band) to fuse with a lower-resolution, multiband raster dataset.

The inputs for this function are the following:

  • Panchromatic image
  • Multispectral image
  • Infrared Image
  • Properties
  • Method
  • Sensor

If you do not want to use the infrared image as part of the Esri method for pan sharpening, you can remove the text from the parameter's text box.

The Properties include the pan-sharpening methods (Esri, IHS, Brovey, Simple Mean, and Gram-Schmidt) and the weights used for each band. The weights are relative and will be normalized when they are used.

To learn about each method, see Fundamentals of panchromatic sharpening.
