  • The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of weights in pan-sharpening methods applied to satellite images. Indeed, different data sets of weights have been considered and compared in the IHS and Brovey methods. The first dataset contains the same weight for each band while the second takes in account the weighs obtained by spectral radiance response; these two data sets are most common in pan-sharpening application. The third data set is resulting by a new method. It consists to compute the inertial moment of first order of each band taking in account the spectral response. For testing the impact of the weights of the different data sets, WorlView-3 satellite images have been considered. In particular, two different scenes (the first in urban landscape, the latter in rural landscape) have been investigated. The quality of pan-sharpened images has been analysed by three different quality indexes: Root mean square error (RMSE), Relative average spectral error (RASE) and Erreur Relative Global Adimensionnelle de Synthèse (ERGAS).
