We propose a novel deep neural network based method named PSGAN. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the first attempts at producing high-quality pan-sharpened images with GANs. The PSGAN consists of two components: a generative network (i.e., generator) and a discriminative network (i.e., discriminator). The generator is designed to accept panchromatic (PAN) and multispectral (MS) images as inputs and maps them to the desired high-resolution (HR) MS images and the discriminator implements the adversarial training strategy for generating higher fidelity pan-sharpened images. In this paper, we evaluate several architectures and designs, namely two-stream input, stacking input, batch normalization layer, and attention mechanism to find the optimal solution for pan-sharpening. Extensive experiments on QuickBird, GaoFen-2, and WorldView-2 satellite images demonstrate that the proposed PSGANs not only are effective in generating high-quality HR MS images and superior to state-of-the-art methods and also generalize well to full-scale images.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1805.03371v4","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/1805.03371v4.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"psgan-a-generative-adversarial-network-for","repo_url":"https://github.com/liouxy/PSGan","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"tf","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":null,"task_name":"Generative Adversarial Network"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
