Abstract: A novel fusion method based on the hyperspherical color transformation (HCT) and joint sparsity model is proposed for decreasing the spectral distortion of fused image further. In the method, an intensity component and angles of each band of the multispectral image is obtained by HCT firstly, and then the intensity component is fused with the panchromatic image through wavelet transform and joint sparsity model. In the joint sparsity model, the redundant and complement information of the different images can be efficiently extracted and employed to yield the high quality results. Finally, the fused multi spectral image is obtained by inverse transforms of wavelet and HCT on the new lower frequency image and the angle components, respectively. Experimental results on Pleiades-1 and WorldView-2 satellites indicate that the proposed method achieves remarkable results.
