Hyperspectral imaging measures the amount of electromagnetic energy across the instantaneous field of view at a very high resolution in hundreds or thousands of spectral channels. This enables objects to be detected and the identification of materials that have subtle differences between them. However, the increase in spectral resolution often means that there is a decrease in the number of photons received in each channel, which means that the noise linked to the image formation process is greater. This degradation limits the quality of the extracted information and its potential applications. Thus, denoising is a fundamental problem in hyperspectral image (HSI) processing. As images of natural scenes with highly correlated spectral channels, HSIs are characterized by a high level of self-similarity and can be well approximated by low-rank representations. These characteristics underlie the state-of-the-art methods used in HSI denoising. However, where there are rarely occurring pixel types, the denoising performance of these methods is not optimal, and the subsequent detection of these pixels may be compromised. To address these hurdles, in this article, we introduce RhyDe (Robust hyperspectral Denoising), a powerful HSI denoiser, which implements explicit low-rank representation, promotes self-similarity, and, by using a form of collaborative sparsity, preserves rare pixels. The denoising and detection effectiveness of the proposed robust HSI denoiser is illustrated using semireal and real data.

This paper introduces two very fast and competitive hyperspectral image (HSI) restoration algorithms: fast hyperspectral denoising (FastHyDe), a denoising algorithm able to cope with Gaussian and Poissonian noise, and fast hyperspectral inpainting (FastHyIn), an inpainting algorithm to restore HSIs where some observations from known pixels in some known bands are missing. FastHyDe and FastHyIn fully exploit extremely compact and sparse HSI representations linked with their low-rank and self-similarity characteristics. In a series of experiments with simulated and real data, the newly introduce…

It is a challenging task to remove heavy and mixed types of noise from Hyperspectral images (HSIs). In this paper, we propose a novel nonconvex approach to RPCA for HSI denoising, which adopts the log-determinant rank approximation and a novel $\ell_{2,\log}$ norm, to restrict the low-rank or column-wise sparse properties for the component matrices, respectively.For the $\ell_{2,\log}$-regularized shrinkage problem, we develop an efficient, closed-form solution, which is named $\ell_{2,\log}$-shrinkage operator, which can be generally used in other problems. Extensive experiments on both simul…
Hyperspectral image (HSI) denoising is a crucial preprocessing procedure for the subsequent HSI applications. Unfortunately, though witnessing the development of deep learning in HSI denoising area, existing convolution-based methods face the trade-off between computational efficiency and capability to model non-local characteristics of HSI. In this paper, we propose a Spatial-Spectral Transformer (SST) to alleviate this problem. To fully explore intrinsic similarity characteristics in both spatial dimension and spectral dimension, we conduct non-local spatial self-attention and global spectra…

As with any physical instrument, hyperspectral cameras induce different kinds of noise in the acquired data. Therefore, Hyperspectral denoising is a crucial step for analyzing hyperspectral images (HSIs). Conventional computational methods rarely use GPUs to improve efficiency and are not fully open-source. Alternatively, deep learning-based methods are often open-source and use GPUs, but their training and utilization for real-world applications remain non-trivial for many researchers. Consequently, we propose HyDe: the first open-source, GPU-accelerated Python-based, hyperspectral image deno…

Hyperspectral images (HSIs) have been widely used in a variety of applications thanks to the rich spectral information they are able to provide. Among all HSI processing tasks, HSI denoising is a crucial step. Recently, deep learning-based image denoising methods have made great progress and achieved great performance. However, existing methods tend to ignore the correlations between adjacent spectral bands, leading to problems such as spectral distortion and blurred edges in denoised results. In this study, we propose a novel HSI denoising network, termed SSCAN, that combines group convolutio…

Hyperspectral image (HSI) denoising is of crucial importance for many subsequent applications, such as HSI classification and interpretation. In this paper, we propose an attention-based deep residual network to directly learn a mapping from noisy HSI to the clean one. To jointly utilize the spatial-spectral information, the current band and its $K$ adjacent bands are simultaneously exploited as the input. Then, we adopt convolution layer with different filter sizes to fuse the multi-scale feature, and use shortcut connection to incorporate the multi-level information for better noise removal.…

Deep learning (DL) based hyperspectral images (HSIs) denoising approaches directly learn the nonlinear mapping between observed noisy images and underlying clean images. They normally do not consider the physical characteristics of HSIs, therefore making them lack of interpretability that is key to understand their denoising mechanism.. In order to tackle this problem, we introduce a novel model guided interpretable network for HSI denoising. Specifically, fully considering the spatial redundancy, spectral low-rankness and spectral-spatial properties of HSIs, we first establish a subspace base…
Low-rankness is important in the hyperspectral image (HSI) denoising tasks. The tensor nuclear norm (TNN), defined based on the tensor singular value decomposition, is a state-of-the-art method to describe the low-rankness of HSI. However, TNN ignores some physical meanings of HSI in tackling denoising tasks, leading to suboptimal denoising performance. In this paper, we propose the multi-modal and frequency-weighted tensor nuclear norm (MFWTNN) and the non-convex MFWTNN for HSI denoising tasks. Firstly, we investigate the physical meaning of frequency slices and reconsider their weights to im…
The paper proposes a new high spatial resolution hyperspectral (HR-HS) image estimation method based on convex optimization. The method assumes a low spatial resolution HS (LR-HS) image and a guide image as observations, where both observations are contaminated by noise. Our method simultaneously estimates an HR-HS image and a noiseless guide image, so the method can utilize spatial information in a guide image even if it is contaminated by heavy noise. The proposed estimation problem adopts hybrid spatio-spectral total variation as regularization and evaluates the edge similarity between HR-H…
Hyperspectral image (HSI) denoising aims to restore clean HSI from the noise-contaminated one. Noise contamination can often be caused during data acquisition and conversion. In this paper, we propose a novel spatial-spectral total variation (SSTV) regularized nonconvex local low-rank (LR) tensor approximation method to remove mixed noise in HSIs. From one aspect, the clean HSI data have its underlying local LR tensor property, even though the real HSI data may not be globally low-rank due to out-liers and non-Gaussian noise. According to this fact, we propose a novel tensor $L_γ$-norm to form…

This paper tackles the challenging problem of hyperspectral (HS) image denoising. Unlike existing deep learning-based methods usually adopting complicated network architectures or empirically stacking off-the-shelf modules to pursue performance improvement, we focus on the efficient and effective feature extraction manner for capturing the high-dimensional characteristics of HS images. To be specific, based on the theoretical analysis that increasing the rank of the matrix formed by the unfolded convolutional kernels can promote feature diversity, we propose rank-enhanced low-dimensional convo…

Diffusion models have recently received a surge of interest due to their impressive performance for image restoration, especially in terms of noise robustness. However, existing diffusion-based methods are trained on a large amount of training data and perform very well in-distribution, but can be quite susceptible to distribution shift. This is especially inappropriate for data-starved hyperspectral image (HSI) restoration. To tackle this problem, this work puts forth a self-supervised diffusion model for HSI restoration, namely Denoising Diffusion Spatio-Spectral Model (\texttt{DDS2M}), whic…

Deep learning algorithms have demonstrated state-of-the-art performance in various tasks of image restoration. This was made possible through the ability of CNNs to learn from large exemplar sets. However, the latter becomes an issue for hyperspectral image processing where datasets commonly consist of just a few images. In this work, we propose a new approach to denoising, inpainting, and super-resolution of hyperspectral image data using intrinsic properties of a CNN without any training. The performance of the given algorithm is shown to be comparable to the performance of trained networks,…
The spatio-spectral total variation (SSTV) model has been widely used as an effective regularization of hyperspectral images (HSI) for various applications such as mixed noise removal. However, since SSTV computes local spatial differences uniformly, it is difficult to remove noise while preserving complex spatial structures with fine edges and textures, especially in situations of high noise intensity. To solve this problem, we propose a new TV-type regularization called Graph-SSTV (GSSTV), which generates a graph explicitly reflecting the spatial structure of the target HSI from noisy HSIs a…

Image denoising is often empowered by accurate prior information. In recent years, data-driven neural network priors have shown promising performance for RGB natural image denoising. Compared to classic handcrafted priors (e.g., sparsity and total variation), the "deep priors" are learned using a large number of training samples -- which can accurately model the complex image generating process. However, data-driven priors are hard to acquire for hyperspectral images (HSIs) due to the lack of training data. A remedy is to use the so-called unsupervised deep image prior (DIP). Under the unsuper…
In this study, the problem of computing a sparse representation of multi-dimensional visual data is considered. In general, such data e.g., hyperspectral images, color images or video data consists of signals that exhibit strong local dependencies. A new computationally efficient sparse coding optimization problem is derived by employing regularization terms that are adapted to the properties of the signals of interest. Exploiting the merits of the learnable regularization techniques, a neural network is employed to act as structure prior and reveal the underlying signal dependencies. To solve…
In this paper, we propose an alternating directional 3D quasi-recurrent neural network for hyperspectral image (HSI) denoising, which can effectively embed the domain knowledge -- structural spatio-spectral correlation and global correlation along spectrum. Specifically, 3D convolution is utilized to extract structural spatio-spectral correlation in an HSI, while a quasi-recurrent pooling function is employed to capture the global correlation along spectrum. Moreover, alternating directional structure is introduced to eliminate the causal dependency with no additional computation cost. The pro…

Hyperspectral images (HSIs) are susceptible to various noise factors leading to the loss of information, and the noise restricts the subsequent HSIs object detection and classification tasks. In recent years, learning-based methods have demonstrated their superior strengths in denoising the HSIs. Unfortunately, most of the methods are manually designed based on the extensive expertise that is not necessarily available to the users interested. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm to automatically build an optimal Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to effectively denoise HSIs. Particularl…

Hyperspectral image (HSI) denoising is a crucial preprocessing procedure to improve the performance of the subsequent HSI interpretation and applications. In this paper, a novel deep learning-based method for this task is proposed, by learning a non-linear end-to-end mapping between the noisy and clean HSIs with a combined spatial-spectral deep convolutional neural network (HSID-CNN). Both the spatial and spectral information are simultaneously assigned to the proposed network. In addition, multi-scale feature extraction and multi-level feature representation are respectively employed to captu…

Hyperspectral images (HSIs) usually suffer from different types of pollution. This severely reduces the quality of HSIs and limits the accuracy of subsequent processing tasks. HSI denoising can be modeled as a low-rank tensor denoising problem. Tensor nuclear norm (TNN) induced by tensor singular value decomposition plays an important role in this problem. In this letter, we first reconsider three inconspicuous but crucial phenomenons in TNN. In the Fourier transform domain of HSIs, different frequency slices (FS) contain different information; different singular values (SVs) of each FS also r…
Hyperspectral image denoising is unique for the highly similar and correlated spectral information that should be properly considered. However, existing methods show limitations in exploring the spectral correlations across different bands and feature interactions within each band. Besides, the low- and high-level features usually exhibit different importance for different spatial-spectral regions, which is not fully explored for current algorithms as well. In this paper, we present a Mixed Attention Network (MAN) that simultaneously considers the inter- and intra-spectral correlations as well…

Sliding-window based low-rank matrix approximation (LRMA) is a technique widely used in hyperspectral images (HSIs) denoising or completion. However, the uncertainty quantification of the restored HSI has not been addressed to date. Accurate uncertainty quantification of the denoised HSI facilitates to applications such as multi-source or multi-scale data fusion, data assimilation, and product uncertainty quantification, since these applications require an accurate approach to describe the statistical distributions of the input data. Therefore, we propose a prior-free closed-form element-wise …

Non-local low-rank tensor approximation has been developed as a state-of-the-art method for hyperspectral image (HSI) restoration, which includes the tasks of denoising, compressed HSI reconstruction and inpainting. Unfortunately, while its restoration performance benefits from more spectral bands, its runtime also substantially increases. In this paper, we claim that the HSI lies in a global spectral low-rank subspace, and the spectral subspaces of each full band patch group should lie in this global low-rank subspace. This motivates us to propose a unified paradigm combining the spatial and …

In particular, the new method adopts the log-determinant rank approximation and a novel $\ell_{2,\log}$ norm, to restrict the local low-rank or column-wisely sparse properties for the component matrices, respectively. For the $\ell_{2,\log}$-regularized shrinkage problem, we develop an efficient, closed-form solution, which…

Recently, the low-rank property of different components extracted from the image has been considered in man hyperspectral image denoising methods. However, these methods usually unfold the 3D tensor to 2D matrix or 1D vector to exploit the prior information, such as nonlocal spatial self-similarity (NSS) and global spectral correlation (GSC), which break the intrinsic structure correlation of hyperspectral image (HSI) and thus lead to poor restoration quality. In addition, most of them suffer from heavy computational burden issues due to the involvement of singular value decomposition operatio…

Supervised learning with a convolutional neural network is recognized as a powerful means of image restoration. However, most such methods have been designed for application to grayscale and/or color images; therefore, they have limited success when applied to hyperspectral image restoration. This is partially owing to large datasets being difficult to collect, and also the heavy computational load associated with the restoration of an image with many spectral bands. To address this difficulty, we propose a novel self-supervised learning strategy for application to hyperspectral image restorat…

Hyperspectral imaging, providing abundant spatial and spectral information simultaneously, has attracted a lot of interest in recent years. Unfortunately, due to the hardware limitations, the hyperspectral image (HSI) is vulnerable to various degradations, such noises (random noise, HSI denoising), blurs (Gaussian and uniform blur, HSI deblurring), and down-sampled (both spectral and spatial downsample, HSI super-resolution). Previous HSI restoration methods are designed for one specific task only. Besides, most of them start from the 1-D vector or 2-D matrix models and cannot fully exploit th…
Hyperspectral imaging offers new perspectives for diverse applications, ranging from the monitoring of the environment using airborne or satellite remote sensing, precision farming, food safety, planetary exploration, or astrophysics. Unfortunately, the spectral diversity of information comes at the expense of various sources of degradation, and the lack of accurate ground-truth "clean" hyperspectral signals acquired on the spot makes restoration tasks challenging. In particular, training deep neural networks for restoration is difficult, in contrast to traditional RGB imaging problems where d…

In this paper, we propose a novel low-tubal-rank tensor recovery model, which directly constrains the tubal rank prior for effectively removing the mixed Gaussian and sparse noise in hyperspectral images. The constraints of tubal-rank and sparsity can govern the solution of the denoised tensor in the recovery procedure. To solve the constrained low-tubal-rank model, we develop an iterative algorithm based on bilateral random projections to efficiently solve the proposed model. The advantage of random projections is that the approximation of the low-tubal-rank tensor can be obtained quite accur…
Deep-learning-based hyperspectral image (HSI) restoration methods have gained great popularity for their remarkable performance but often demand expensive network retraining whenever the specifics of task changes. In this paper, we propose to restore HSIs in a unified approach with an effective plug-and-play method, which can jointly retain the flexibility of optimization-based methods and utilize the powerful representation capability of deep neural networks. Specifically, we first develop a new deep HSI denoiser leveraging gated recurrent convolution units, short- and long-term skip connecti…
Hyperspectral images (HSIs) have been widely applied in many fields, such as military, agriculture, and environment monitoring. Nevertheless, HSIs commonly suffer from various types of noise during acquisition. Therefore, denoising is critical for HSI analysis and applications. In this paper, we propose a novel blind denoising method for HSIs based on Multi-Stream Denoising Network (MSDNet). Our network consists of the noise estimation subnetwork and denoising subnetwork. In the noise estimation subnetwork, a multiscale fusion module is designed to capture the noise from different scales. Then…
