Abstract

En 中文
Standard hyperspectral (HS) pansharpening relies on fusion to enhance low-resolution HS (LRHS) images to the resolution of their matching panchromatic (PAN) images, whose practical implementation is normally under a stipulation of scale invariance of the model across the training phase and the pansharpening phase. By contrast, arbitrary resolution HS (ARHS) pansharpening seeks to pansharpen LRHS images to any user-customized resolutions. For such a new HS pansharpening task, it is not feasible to train and store convolution neural network (CNN) models for all possible candidate scales, which implies that the single model acquired from the training phase should be capable of being generalized to yield HS images with any resolutions in the pansharpening phase. To address the challenge, a novel variable subpixel convolution (VSPC)-based CNN (VSPC-CNN) method following our arbitrary upsampling CNN (AU-CNN) framework is developed for ARHS pansharpening. The VSPC-CNN method comprises a two-stage elevating thread. The first stage is to improve the spatial resolution of the input HS image to that of the PAN image through a prepansharpening module, and then, a VSPC-encapsulated arbitrary scale attention upsampling (ASAU) module is cascaded for arbitrary resolution adjustment. After training with given scales, it can be generalized to pansharpen HS image to arbitrary scales under the spatial patterns invariance across the training and pansharpening phases. Experimental results from several specific VSPC-CNNs on both simulated and real HS datasets show the superiority of the proposed method.
