“…Pan-sharpening, as an important means to enhance the spatial resolution of multi-band low-resolution (LR) multispectral images (MS) by software, which refers to the process of enhancing the spatial information and obtaining high-resolution (HR) MS images by using HR single-band panchromatic (PAN) images aligned with them [4]. Despite a long history of research, pan-sharpening is still one of the most challenging directions in remote sensing image processing [5], and many key issues still need to be further explored and solved. Among them, improving the spatial resolution of MS while effectively maintaining its spectral information has not been well solved so far, and it is also regarded as a criterion to measure whether the obtained high spatial resolution images can meet the practical needs [6].…”

Pan-sharpening is an important means to improve the spatial resolution of multispectral (MS) images. Although a large number of pan-sharpening methods have been developed, improving the spatial resolution of MS while effectively maintaining its spectral information has not been well solved so far, and it has also been taken as a criterion to measure whether the sharpened product can meet the practical needs. The back-projection (BP) method iteratively injects spectral information backwards into the sharpened results in a post-processing manner, which can effectively improve the generally unsatisfied spectral consistency problem in pan-sharpening methods. Although BP has received some attention in recent years in pan-sharpening research, the existing related work is basically limited to the direct utilization of the BP process and lacks a more in-depth intrinsic integration with pan-sharpening. In this paper, we analyze the current problems of improving the spectral consistency based on BP in pan-sharpening, and the main innovative works carried out on this basis include the following: (1) We introduce the spatial consistency condition and propose the spatial–spectral BP (SSBP) method, which takes into account both spatial and spectral consistency conditions, to improve the spectral quality while effectively solving the problem of spatial distortion in the results. (2) The proposed SSBP method is analyzed theoretically, and the convergence condition of SSBP and a more relaxed convergence condition for a specific BP type, degradation transpose BP, are given and proved theoretically. (3) Fast computation of BP and SSBP is investigated, and non-iterative fast BP (FBP) and fast SSBP algorithms (FSSBP) methods are given in a closed-form solution with significant improvement in computational efficiency. Experimental comparisons with combinations formed by seven different BP-related post-processing methods and up to 18 typical base methods show that the proposed methods are generally applicable to the optimization of the spatial–spectral quality of various sharpening methods. The fast method improves the computational speed by at least 27.5 times compared to the iterative version while maintaining the evaluation metrics well.
