Abstract

The spatial resolution of multispectral satellite imagery can be greatly improved through the application of the IHS color transformation. This numerical transformation allows diverse forms of data from space- and air-borne platforms to be combined into a single hybrid data set. Procedures are given for merging readily available Landsat MSS bands with digitized aerial photographs to produce color imagery having SPOT-like spectral [green to near-infrared) and spatial (10-m) properties.
