NAME
       gdal_pansharpen -  Perform a pansharpen operation.

			  <pan_dataset>
			  <spectral_dataset>[,band=<num>] [<spectral_dataset>[,band=<num>]]...
			  <out_dataset>

			  [-r {nearest|bilinear|cubic|cubicspline|lanczos|average}]

			  [-spat_adjust	{union|intersection|none|nonewithoutwarning}]
			  [-co <NAME>=<VALUE>]... [-q]

DESCRIPTION
       gdal_pansharpen	performs  a  pan-sharpening operation. It can create a
       "classic" output	dataset	(such as GeoTIFF), or a	VRT dataset describing
       the pan-sharpening operation.

       More details can	be found in the	Pansharpened VRT section.

       NOTE:
	  gdal_pansharpen is a Python utility, and is only available  if  GDAL
	  Python bindings are available.

       --help Show this	help message and exit

       --help-general
	      Gives a brief usage message for the generic GDAL commandline op-
	      tions and	exit.

       -of <format>
	      Select  the output format. Starting with GDAL 2.3, if not	speci-
	      fied, the	format is guessed from the extension  (previously  was
	      GTiff). Use the short format name. VRT can also be used.

       -b <band>
	      Select band band from the	input spectral bands for output. Bands
	      are  numbered  from 1 in the order spectral bands	are specified.
	      Multiple -b switches may be used.	When no	-b switch is used, all
	      input spectral bands are set for output.

       -w <weight_val>
	      Specify a	weight for the computation of the pseudo  panchromatic
	      value.  There  must  be  as  many	 -w switches as	input spectral
	      bands.

       -r {nearest|bilinear|cubic|cubicspline|lanczos|average}
	      Select a resampling algorithm. cubic is the default.

       -threads	{ALL_CPUS|<number>}
	      Specify number of	threads	 to  use  to  do  the  resampling  and
	      pan-sharpening itself. Can be an integer number or ALL_CPUS.

       -bitdepth <val>
	      Specify  the  bit	 depth	of the panchromatic and	spectral bands
	      (e.g.  12). If not specified, the	NBITS metadata item  from  the
	      panchromatic band	will be	used if	it exists.

       -nodata <val>
	      Specify  nodata  value  for  bands.  Used	for the	resampling and
	      pan-sharpening computation itself. If not	set, deduced from  the
	      input bands, provided they have a	consistent setting.

       -spat_adjust {union|intersection|none|nonewithoutwarning}
	      Select  behavior	when  bands have not the same extent. See Spa-
	      tialExtentAdjustment documentation in Pansharpened VRT union  is
	      the default.

       -co <NAME>=<VALUE>
	      Many formats have	one or more optional creation options that can
	      be  used	to control particulars about the file created. For in-
	      stance, the GeoTIFF driver supports creation options to  control
	      compression, and whether the file	should be tiled.

	      The  creation  options available vary by format driver, and some
	      simple formats have no creation options at all. A	 list  of  op-
	      tions  supported	for  a format can be listed with the --formats
	      command line option but the documentation	for the	format is  the
	      definitive  source  of  information  on driver creation options.
	      See Raster drivers format	specific documentation for legal  cre-
	      ation options for	each format.

       -q     Suppress progress	monitor	and other non-error output.

       <pan_dataset>
	      Dataset with panchromatic	band (first band will be used).

       <spectral_dataset>[,band=<num>]
	      Dataset  with  one or several spectral bands. If the band	option
	      is not specified,	all bands of the datasets are taken  into  ac-
	      count.   Otherwise,  only	 the  specified	(num)th	band. The same
	      dataset can be repeated several times.

       <out_dataset>
	      Output dataset

       Bands should be in the same projection.

EXAMPLE
       With spectral bands in a	single dataset :

	  gdal_pansharpen panchro.tif multispectral.tif	pansharpened_out.tif

       With a few spectral bands from a	single dataset,	reordered :

	  gdal_pansharpen panchro.tif multispectral.tif,band=3 multispectral.tif,band=2	multispectral.tif,band=1 pansharpened_out.tif

       With spectral bands in several datasets :

	  gdal_pansharpen panchro.tif band1.tif	band2.tif band3.tif pansharpened_out.tif

       Specify weights:

	  gdal_pansharpen -w 0.7 -w 0.2	-w 0.1 panchro.tif multispectral.tif pansharpened_out.tif

       Specify RGB bands from a	RGBNir multispectral dataset  while  computing
       the pseudo panchromatic intensity on the	4 RGBNir bands:

	  gdal_pansharpen -b 1 -b 2 -b 3 panchro.tif rgbnir.tif	pansharpened_out.tif
