There is an inevitable trade-off between spatial and spectral resolutions in optical remote sensing images. A number of data fusion techniques of multimodal images with different spatial and spectral characteristics have been developed to generate optical images with both spatial and spectral high resolution. Although some of the techniques take the spectral and spatial blurring process into account, there is no method that attempts to retrieve an optical image with both spatial and spectral high resolution, a spectral blurring filter and a spectral response simultaneously. In this paper, we propose a new framework of spatial resolution enhancement by a fusion of multiple optical images with different characteristics based on tensor decomposition. An optical image with both spatial and spectral high resolution, together with a spatial blurring filter and a spectral response, is generated via canonical polyadic (CP) decomposition of a set of tensors. Experimental results featured that relatively reasonable results were obtained by regularization based on nonnegativity and coupling.
