The spectral response function (SRF) and the point spread function (PSF) are two crucial prior pieces of information in fusion, and most of the current algorithms need to provide these two preliminary pieces of information in advance, even for semi-blind fusion algorithms at least the SRF. This causes limitations in the application of fusion algorithms. This paper aims to solve the dependence of the fusion method on the point spread function and proposes a method to estimate the spectral response function from the images involved in the fusion to achieve blind fusion. We conducted experiments on simulated datasets Pavia University, CAVE, and the remote sensing images acquired by two spectral cameras, Sentinel 2 and Hyperion. The experimental results show that our proposed SRF estimation method can improve the PSNR value by 5 dB on average compared with other state-of-the-art SRF estimation results. The proposed blind fusion method can improve the PSNR value of fusion results by 3\u201315 dB compared with other blind fusion methods.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13214219","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,21]],"date-time":"2021-10-21T23:27:39Z","timestamp":1634858859000},"page":"4219","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Blind Fusion of Hyperspectral Multispectral Images Based on Matrix Factorization"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7817-9475","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jian","family":"Long","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of High Performance Computing, College of Computer Science and Technology, National University of Computer Science and Technology, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha 410073, China"}]},{"given":"Yuanxi","family":"Peng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of High Performance Computing, College of Computer Science and Technology, National University of Computer Science and Technology, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha 410073, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Samiappan, S.
