Cover Story: The pan-sharpening methods increase the geometric resolution of multispectral images (MSI) using panchromatic data of the same scene. It is not trivial to choose a suitable pan-sharpening algorithm: there are several, but none of them is universally recognized as the best. This article aims to analyze pan-sharpening in relation to different land covers present in GeoEye-1 images. Nine methods are compared considering the results they produce on four different types of areas, i.e., natural, rural, semi-urban, and urban, distinguishable by the vegetation content. The images show RGB compositions obtained with the initial MSI (on the left), the least-performing method (in the middle), and the best-performing method (on the right), resulting in a rural area (upper) and urban area (lower).

Perceptual Translucency in 3D Printing Using Surface Texture

  • Kazuki Nagasawa,
  • Kamui Ono,
  • Wataru Arai and
