In optical remote sensing, hyper-spectral (HS) image which contains color information is produced byhundreds of spectral bands. Because of the trade-off imposed by the physical constraint between spatialand spectral resolutions, the HS image has poor spatial resolution. On the contrary, the panchromatic(PAN) images have high spatial resolution but no color information. Image fusion can combine thegeometric detail of PAN image and the color information of the HS image to produce a high-resolutionHS image. The aim of this study is the fusion of Hyperion and OrbView-3 PAN images based on DiscreteWavelet Transform (DWT). Firstly, the preprocessing methods were applied on Hyperion and OrbView-3images and registration method based on nearest neighbor method were applied on two dataset. In order tofit images pixel size, the resampling operation was applied. PAN image was decomposed by DWT andthen fused by hyper spectral image with GST algorithm. DIV, CC, Q and RMSE accuracy assessmentmethods were used on final fused image to evaluate the results accuracy. The results showed that usingDWT based decomposition PAN image, preserve the spatial information during fusion rule. Also thistechnique gains high accuracy in term of spectral information of hyper spectral image.
