Hi everyone,

I am having difficulty with pansharpening Landsat 8 imagery using this 
tutorial: http://planet.qgis.org/planet/tag/landsat/. I am able to create a 
natural color image, but the pansharpening results in images with distorted 
colors.

Here are the steps that I have followed:


1.       Import all Landsat 8 bands to GRASS 7.0.4

a.       r.in.gdal 
input=C:\Users\Michele\Desktop\LC81100362016082LGN00\LC81100362016082LGN00_B1.TIF
 output=LC81100362016082LGN00_B1 -k -e

2.       Converted digital number data to reflectance using i.landsat.toar

a.       i.landsat.toar input=LC81100362016082LGN00_B 
output=LC81100362016082LGN00_refl 
metfile=C:\Users\Michele\Desktop\LC81100362016082LGN00\LC81100362016082LGN00_MTL.txt
 sensor=oli8 date=2016-03-22

3.       Color balanced using i.colors.enhance for bands 4, 3, 2 as RGB 
respectively

a.       i.colors.enhance red=LC81100362016082LGN00_refl4@Osaka 
green=LC81100362016082LGN00_refl3@Osaka blue=LC81100362016082LGN00_refl2@Osaka

4.       Displayed RGB map using bands 4, 3, 2 (I get a really great natural 
color image)

5.       Pansharpened bands 4, 3, 2 using band 8 as the panchromatic band with 
the IHS method

a.       i.pansharpen red=LC81100362016082LGN00_refl4@Osaka 
green=LC81100362016082LGN00_refl3@Osaka blue=LC81100362016082LGN00_refl2@Osaka 
pan=LC81100362016082LGN00_refl8@Osaka output=LC81100362016082LGN00_ihs 
method=ihs

6.       Displayed RGB map with the "pansharpened" bands for 4, 3, 2

7.       Result: An image that is entirely gray (I found this link that says to 
use i.fusion.hpf, but following those instructions, I get "'make' is not 
recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

 Am I supposed to use the GUI for this?)

>From searching online, I have found that the i.pansharpen module doesn't take

>(http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/39174/how-to-color-balance-false-composites-of-pan-sharpened-landsat-images-in-grass/67319#67319)
> that says to rescale the image. I attempted this twice:


1.       When I run it on the bands produced after running the i.landsat.toar 
module, I get numbers such as min=-0.00813278402972343 and 
max=1.58301384751301. After rescaling the images to 0-255 and proceeding with 
step 3 I end up with an entirely white image.

2.       However, if I rescale the original bands which all have ranges of 
0-65535, to 0-255, then pansharpen, the result is a washed out version of the 
natural color image. I believe this has been pansharpened, but the colors are 
off. I also attempted to color balance the pansharpened bands but was 
unsuccessful as well.

Am I rescaling the images incorrectly or is there another step I am getting 
wrong? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
