Development opportunity

Researchers in the Remote Sensing Group at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid’s School of Computing have developed a number of satellite image fusion techniques, making the images more useful in fields including urban planning, natural resources management and precision farming.

The group has built add-ons for ImageJ, a public domain Java image processing software, making it possible to process multi-spectral images. In addition, they have created an image read/write module with specific formats for multi-band images, that can be used for any number of spectral bands.

Generic utilities also developed by the researchers include image transformations most commonly used in image fusion and multi-spectral and panchromatic image fusion algorithms.
