Project PANCO (PANsharpening and COregistration suite)
Adriano Tullo, INAF Astronomical Observatory of Padua (IT)
V.0.1 - 06/06/2024

Every planetary exploration study faces a common challenge: integrating images from diverse sources, each with unique spatial and spectral resolutions, and often, georeferencing inaccuracies. This software suite is dedicated to facilitating the integration of surface images of planetary bodies through simplified co-registration procedures and reciprocal resolution enhancement using CS pansharpening techniques. 
The first validation study is currently being reviewed in Planetary and Space Science, and involves tests on the mutual implementation of ESA TGO CaSSIS and NASA MRO HiRISE images.


USAGE:
For technical reasons related to the repository the scripts are stored in text format, to use them the extension must be replaced with the python .py format.
The scripts are designed as modular functions, so they can be used either individually or imported as a function within a script.
For single use, place the input data path in string format at the bottom of the script together with the index of the bands to be used. For CaSSIS, in the case of complete data of all bands, the order is 1:NIR, 2:RED, 3:PAN, 4:BLUE.
