Hyperspectral Image Super-Resolution Using Optimization and DCNN-Based Methods
Reconstructing a high-resolution (HR) hyperspectral (HS) image from the observed low-resolution (LR) hyperspectral image or a high-resolution multispectral (RGB) image obtained using the exiting imaging cameras is an important research topic for capturing comprehensive scene information in both spatial and spectral domains. The HR-HS hyperspectral image reconstruction mainly consists of two research strategies: optimization-based and the deep convolutional neural network-based learning methods. The optimization-based approaches estimate HR-HS image via minimizing the reconstruction errors of the available low-resolution hyperspectral and high-resolution multispectral images with different constrained prior knowledge such as representation sparsity, spectral physical properties, spatial smoothness, and so on. Recently, deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) has been applied to resolution enhancement of natural images and is proven to achieve promising performance. This chapter provides a comprehensive description of not only the conventional optimization-based methods but also the recently investigated DCNN-based learning methods for HS image super-resolution, which mainly include spectral reconstruction CNN and spatial and spectral fusion CNN. Experiment results on benchmark datasets have been shown for validating effectiveness of HS image super-resolution in both quantitative values and visual effect
Unsupervised Sparse Dirichlet-Net for Hyperspectral Image Super-Resolution
In many computer vision applications, obtaining images of high resolution in
both the spatial and spectral domains are equally important. However, due to
hardware limitations, one can only expect to acquire images of high resolution
in either the spatial or spectral domains. This paper focuses on hyperspectral
image super-resolution (HSI-SR), where a hyperspectral image (HSI) with low
spatial resolution (LR) but high spectral resolution is fused with a
multispectral image (MSI) with high spatial resolution (HR) but low spectral
resolution to obtain HR HSI. Existing deep learning-based solutions are all
supervised that would need a large training set and the availability of HR HSI,
which is unrealistic. Here, we make the first attempt to solving the HSI-SR
problem using an unsupervised encoder-decoder architecture that carries the
following uniquenesses. First, it is composed of two encoder-decoder networks,
coupled through a shared decoder, in order to preserve the rich spectral
information from the HSI network. Second, the network encourages the
representations from both modalities to follow a sparse Dirichlet distribution
which naturally incorporates the two physical constraints of HSI and MSI.
Third, the angular difference between representations are minimized in order to
reduce the spectral distortion. We refer to the proposed architecture as
unsupervised Sparse Dirichlet-Net, or uSDN. Extensive experimental results
demonstrate the superior performance of uSDN as compared to the
state-of-the-art.Comment: Accepted by The IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern
