Abstract

The images acquired by microwave sensors are blurry and of low-resolution. On the other hand, the images obtained using infrared/visible sensors are of sufficiently high-resolution. In this paper, we develop a data fusion methodology and apply it to enhance resolution of a microwave image using the data from a collocated infrared/visible sensor. Such an approach takes advantage of the spatial resolution of the infrared instrument and the sensing accuracy of the microwave instrument. We tested our method using precipitation scenes captured with the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU) microwave instrument and the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR).
