This paper presents a deep learning-based estimation of the intensity component of MultiSpectral bands by considering joint multiplication of the neighbouring spectral bands. This estimation is conducted as part of the component substitution approach for fusion of PANchromatic and MultiSpectral images in remote sensing. After computing the band dependent intensity components, a deep neural network is trained to learn the nonlinear relationship between a PAN image and its nonlinear intensity components. Low Resolution MultiSpectral bands are then fed into the trained network to obtain an estimate of High Resolution MultiSpectral bands. Experiments conducted on three datasets show that the developed deep learning-based estimation approach provides improved performance compared to the existing methods based on three objective metrics.
