In the CHEESE SPIKE paper, a novel Intersecting Cortical Network Model (ICM) based adaptive pansharpening algorithm is proposed to solve the deficiency of spectral distortion and texture detail missing in the remote sensing image fusion.The Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm (SFLA) is used in the proposed method to adaptively optimize the ICM model pa
