i.fusion.brovey help
i.fusion.brovey [-lqs] ms1=string ms2=string ms3=string pan=string outputprefix=string [--overwrite] [--verbose] [--quiet]
Flags:
- -l
- sensor: LANDSAT
- -q
- sensor: QuickBird

Parameters:
- ms1=string
- raster input map (green: tm2 | qbird_green | spot1)
- ms2=string
- raster input map (NIR: tm4 | qbird_nir | spot2)
- ms3=string
- raster input map (MIR; tm5 | qbird_red | spot3)
- pan=string
- raster input map (etmpan | qbird_pan | spotpan)
- outputprefix=string
- raster output map prefix (e.g. 'brov')
DESCRIPTION
i.fusion.brovey performs a Brovey transformation using
three multispectral and the panchromatic satellite image scene
channels. Three new channels are calculated according to the
formula:
DN_b1
DN_fused = ------------------------------- * DN_pan
DN_b1 + DN_b2 + DN_b3
The assignment of the channels depends on the satellite.
The module's help text (above) suggests for LANDSAT-7, QuickBird and SPOT.
NOTES
The command changes temporarily to the high resolution of the
panchromatic channels for creating the three output channels,
then restores the previous region settings. The current
region coordinates are respected. The three pan-sharpened output
channels may be combined with d.rgb or r.composite.
