<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>

<EM>i.fusion.brovey</EM> performs a Brovey transformation using
three multispectral and the panchromatic satellite image scene 
channels. Three new channels are calculated according to the
formula:

<pre>
                            DN_b1 
    DN_fused = ------------------------------- * DN_pan
                    DN_b1 + DN_b2 + DN_b3
</pre>

The assignment of the channels depends on the satellite.
The module's help text (above) suggests for LANDSAT-7, QuickBird and SPOT.

<H2>NOTES</H2>
The command changes temporarily to the high resolution of the
panchromatic channels for creating the three output channels,
then restores the previous region settings. The current
region coordinates are respected. The three pan-sharpened output
channels may be combined with <em>d.rgb</em> or <em>r.composite</em>.
