GDF: A Novel Image Fusion Approach for Compelling Depiction of Earthly Features

Algorithm 1

Geospatial data fusion (GDF).
1: Start GDF with Inputs: R, G, B, and PAN
Where R, G, B, and represents the Red component, Green component, Blue component, and the matrix of the panchromatic image, respectively.
2: Compute intensity (I), which is average of RGB values, as per Equation (20).
3: Calculate parameter K’s value using Elbow’s method.
4: Compute rearranged intensity Iadj as per the proposal in pan sharpening algorithm using Equation (21).
5: Compute fusion components using Equations (22)–(24)
