The invention discloses a pansharking method for gray scale amplitude modulation based on spectrum mapping. The method comprises: firstly, a spectral mapping conversion matrix T is solved by establishing a variational model, and a high spatial resolution image (P _ HCM) with a certain spectral resolution is obtained. Then, carrying out spatial filtering on the image obtained after spectrum mappingto generate spatial details with spectrum information, and injecting the spatial details into the up-sampled MS image to obtain an HR _ MS image with higher resolution; and finally, based on the brightness amplitude modulation (SFIM) principle of smooth filtering, obtaining a final fusion image (HRMS) with high spatial and spectral resolution. On the basis of a traditional pansharking method, thespectrum and spatial information of the HRPAN image and the LRMS image are fully mined, on the premise that the spatial structure information is well kept, good spectrum fidelity is achieved, and a fused image with a good visual effect can be obtained.
