Abstract: With the recent advancements in technology, there has been a tremendous growth in the usage of images captured using satellites in various applications, like defense, academics, resource exploration, land-use mapping, and so on. Certain mission-critical applications need images of higher visual quality, but the images captured by the sensors normally suffer from a tradeoff between high spectral and spatial resolutions. Hence, for obtaining images with high visual quality, it is necessary to combine the low resolution multispectral (MS) image with the high resolution panchromatic (PAN) image, and this is accomplished by means of pansharpening. In this paper, an efficient pansharpening technique is devised by using a hybrid optimized deep learning network. Zeiler and Fergus network (ZF Net) is utilized for performing the fusion of the sharpened and upsampled MS image with the PAN image. A novel Dingo coot (DICO) optimization is created for updating the learning parameters and weights of the ZF Net. Moreover, the devised DICO_ZF Net for pansharpening is examined for its effectiveness by considering measures, like Peak Signal To Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Degree of Distortion (DD) and is found to have attained values at 50.177 dB and 0.063 dB.
