Fusion of hyperspectral and panchromatic (PAN) images can merge spectral information of the former and spatial information of the latter. In this paper, a new hyperspectral image fusion algorithm using structure tensor is proposed. An image enhancement approach is utilized to sharpen the spatial information of the PAN image, and the spatial details of the HS image is obtained by an adaptive weighted method. Since structure tensor represents structure and spatial information, a structure tensor is introduced to extract spatial details of the enhanced PAN image. Seeing that the HS and PAN images contain different and complementary spatial information for a same scene, a weighted fusion method is presented to integrate the extracted spatial information of the two images. To avoid artifacts at the boundaries, a guided filter is applied to the integrated spatial information image. The injection matrix is finally constructed to reduce spectral and spatial distortion, and the fused image is generated by injecting the complete spatial information. Comparative analyses validate the proposed method outperforms the state-of-art fusion methods, and provides more spatial details while preserving the spectral information.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs10030373","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,28]],"date-time":"2018-02-28T12:54:12Z","timestamp":1519822452000},"page":"373","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Structure Tensor-Based Algorithm for Hyperspectral and Panchromatic Images Fusion"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3925-2884","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jiahui","family":"Qu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Joint Laboratory of High Speed Multi-source Image Coding and Processing, School of Telecommunications Engineering, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"},{"name":"State Key Lab. of Integrated Service Networks, School of Telecommunications Engineering, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0851-6565","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jie","family":"Lei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Joint Laboratory of High Speed Multi-source Image Coding and Processing, School of Telecommunications Engineering, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"},{"name":"State Key Lab. of Integrated Service Networks, School of Telecommunications Engineering, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}]},{"given":"Yunsong","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Joint Laboratory of High Speed Multi-source Image Coding and Processing, School of Telecommunications Engineering, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"},{"name":"State Key Lab. of Integrated Service Networks, School of Telecommunications Engineering, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0692-9676","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wenqian","family":"Dong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Lab. of Integrated Service Networks, School of Telecommunications Engineering, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}]},{"given":"Zhiyong","family":"Zeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mathematics and Information, Fujian Normal University, Fuzhou 350108, China"}]},{"given":"Dunyu","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Communication, Yuan Ze University, Taoyuan City 32003, Taiwan"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Richards, J.A.
