The article proposes high-order balanced multi-band multiwavelet packet transforms and the remote sensing image fusion based on the transforms for improving the performances of wavelet transforms based remote sensing image fusion. The properties of different wavelet transforms and the relationship among them were firstly analyzed. It was shown that although the balanced multi-band multiwavelet transform had improvements in signal processing due to the properties of balancing and multi-band systems, it should be developed to its wavelet packet counterpart for more effective spatial-frequency domain representation and further improvement in application. Then, the principle theory of the high-order multi-band multiwavelet packet transform was analyzed and it was found the library of the base functions of the transform is an M-fold tree structure (M is the band number of a wavelet system). The fast algorithms of the decomposition and reconstruction of the transform were presented. With the algorithm, one could obtain the transform-domain coefficients in different frequency bands of an analyzing dataset. Correspondingly, the library constituted by these coefficients could be also viewed as a set with M-fold tree structures. Using a tree-information searching algorithm based on cost functions, one could find the most suitable sub-tree library in such a tree-structure set. Based on the coefficients corresponding to the library, the high-order balanced multiwavelet packet transform, which was more suitable to the dataset, could be established. Next, the remote sensing image fusion method based on the transform scheme was constructed. An existing simple fusion strategy was used to construct the wavelet transform based fusion method so as to present a clear evaluation on the function of wavelet transforms. The fusion strategy integrated the intensity-hue-saturation (IHS) transform and wavelet transform together. The IHS transform was used to obtain the intensity component of the multi-spectral images in a remote se
