Hyperspectral and multispectral Resurs-P data fusion for increase of their informational content

The Resurs-P satellite enables one simultaneously to observe the underlying surface using both multi- and hyperspectral equipment. The multispectral images, thus obtained, have high spatial resolution but low spectral resolution. Hyperspectral images, on the contrary, have high spectral resolution but low spatial resolution. This article proposes a method of the hyper- and multispectral data fusion aimed at improving their information value.
