The spatiotemporal fusion technique has the advantages of generating time-series images with high-spatial and high-temporal resolution from coarse-resolution to fine-resolution images. A hybrid fusion method that integrates image blending (i.e., spatial and temporal adaptive reflectance fusion model, STARFM) and super-resolution (i.e., very deep super resolution, VDSR) techniques for the spatiotemporal fusion of 8 m Formosat-2 and 30 m Landsat-8 satellite images is proposed. Two different fusion approaches, namely Blend-then-Super-Resolution and Super-Resolution (SR)-then-Blend, were developed to improve the results of spatiotemporal fusion. The SR-then-Blend approach performs SR before image blending. The SR refines the image resampling stage on generating the same pixel-size of coarse- and fine-resolution images. The Blend-then-SR approach is aimed at refining the spatial details after image blending. Several quality indices were used to analyze the quality of the different fusion approaches. Experimental results showed that the performance of the hybrid method is slightly better than the traditional approach. Images obtained using SR-then-Blend are more similar to the real observed images compared with images acquired using Blend-then-SR. The overall mean bias of SR-then-Blend was 4% lower than Blend-then-SR, and nearly 3% improvement for overall standard deviation in SR-B. The VDSR technique reduces the systematic deviation in spectral band between Formosat-2 and Landsat-8 satellite images. The integration of STARFM and the VDSR model is useful for improving the quality of spatiotemporal fusion.

Abstract. High-resolution satellite images have always been in high demand due to the greater detail and precision they offer, as well as the wide scope of the fields in which they could be applied; however, satellites in operation offering very high-resolution (VHR) images has experienced an important increase, but they remain as a smaller proportion against existing lower resolution (HR) satellites. Recent models of convolutional neural networks (CNN) are very suitable for applications with image processing, like resolution enhancement of images; but in order to obtain an acceptable result, it is important, not only to define the kind of CNN architecture but the reference set of images to train the model. Our work proposes an alternative to improve the spatial resolution of HR images obtained by Sentinel-2 satellite by using the VHR images from PeruSat1, a peruvian satellite, which serve as the reference for the super-resolution approach implementation based on a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) model, as an alternative for obtaining VHR images. The VHR PeruSat-1 image dataset is used for the training process of the network. The results obtained were analyzed considering the Peak Signal to Noise Ratios (PSNR) and the Structural Similarity (SSIM). Finally, some visual outcomes, over a given testing dataset, are presented so the performance of the model could be analyzed as well.
