Any programs to auto panmerge landsat etm+ data? Sam G. 07-03-2004

Hello, I'm 16 years old and have become very interested in GIS and
terrain modelling as of late. I've decided as a project to make a 3d
terrain model of the island of Guam. So far I've downloaded an SRTM
height model and the true color landsat bands (3, 2, 1) + pan band
from GLCF. I've been able to merge the 3 bands to create a low res
true color image using Multispec. My problem is that I would also like
to pansharpen this low res true color composite. Are there any free
programs that can do this? I don't very much care what method it uses
(HSV, PCA, Wavelet, dosen't matter). I just want something that will
give me back a pan sharpened image that retains most of the color
properties of the orignial.

Also, could someone explain the basics of histogramming to me. I'm a
bit confused as to how a histogram controls the color of an image
although I know it has to do with what range of values are displayed.

Thanks in advance,
Sam

You might be interested in John CHild's website:

For example, this article:
Landsat HSL Composite from Panchromatic Band
http://www.terrainmap.com/rm29.html

Also, you might be interested in Chips:
http://www.geogr.ku.dk/chips/
Although it doesn't address the issue of pansharpening,
I have an explanation on my webpage of how to use Chips
to create a 3-band composite image:

I haven't used it, but AlphaPixel's PixelSense may do what
you want:

I've tried the terrainmap method but I have two issues with it. First
is that it appears to strip the tiff header so that output images are
not georeferenced anymore (while multispec leaves the image header
alone). Second, I run into "not enough memory to complete operations"
problem. This cannot be helped regardless of virtual memory settings
so it seems PSP will not work for me. I tried pixel sense but the
output image is semi-transparent (I think a demo-limit). If I had to I
could use an image manipulation program, output the result to a tiff
and regeoereference it with the geotifcp utility. Does anyone know of
any image editors that work well with very large images and will allow
functions such as merging channels and transforming from rbg to hsl or
hsv and back again?
