In this paper, a technique is presented for the fusion of Panchromatic (PAN) and low spatial resolution multispectral (MS) images to get high spatial resolution of the latter. In this technique, we apply PCA transformation to the MS image to obtain the principal component (PC) images. A NSCT transformation to PAN and each PC images for N level of decomposition. We use FOCC as criterion to select PC. And then, we use the relative entropy as criterion to reconstruct high-frequency detailed images. Finally, we apply inverse NSCT to selected PC's low-frequency approximate image and reconstructed high- frequency detailed images to obtain high spatial resolution MS image. The experimental results obtained by applying the proposed image fusion method indicate some improvements in the fusion performance.
