Using light spectra is an essential element in many applications, for example, in material classification. Often this information is acquired by using a hyperspectral camera. Unfortunately, these cameras have some major disadvantages like not being able to record videos. Therefore, multispectral cameras with wide-band filters are used, which are much cheaper and are often able to capture videos. However, using multispectral cameras requires an additional reconstruction step to yield spectral information. Usually, this reconstruction step has to be done in the presence of imaging noise, which degrades the reconstructed spectra severely. Typically, same or similar pixels are found across the image with the advantage of having independent noise. In contrast to state-of-the-art spectral reconstruction methods which only exploit neighboring pixels by block-based processing, this paper introduces non-local filtering in spectral reconstruction. First, a block-matching procedure finds similar non-local multispectral blocks. Thereafter, the hyperspectral pixels are reconstructed by filtering the matched multispectral pixels collaboratively using a reconstruction Wiener filter. The proposed novel procedure even works under very strong noise. The method is able to lower the spectral angle up to 18% and increase the peak signal-to-noise-ratio up to 1.1dB in noisy scenarios compared to state-of-the-art methods. Moreover, the visual results are much more appealing.
Spectral imaging enables spatially-resolved identification of materials in remote sensing, biomedicine, and astronomy. However, acquisition times require balancing spectral and spatial resolution with signal-to-noise. Hyperspectral imaging provides superior material specificity, while multispectral images are faster to collect at greater fidelity. We propose an approach for fusing hyperspectral and multispectral images to provide high-quality hyperspectral output. The proposed optimization leverages the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) to perform variable selection and r…

In recent years, Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) has become a powerful source for reliable data in applications such as remote sensing, agriculture, and biomedicine. However, hyperspectral images are highly data-dense and often benefit from methods to reduce the number of spectral bands while retaining the most useful information for a specific application. We propose a novel band selection method to select a reduced set of wavelengths, obtained from an HSI system in the context of image classification. Our approach consists of two main steps: the first utilizes a filter-based approach to find rel…

In the past few decades, there has been intensive research concerning the Unmixing of hyperspectral images. Some methods such as NMF, VCA, and N-FINDR have become standards since they show robustness in dealing with the unmixing of hyperspectral images. However, the research concerning the unmixing of multispectral images is relatively scarce. Thus, we extend some unmixing methods to the multispectral images. In this paper, we have created two simulated multispectral datasets from two hyperspectral datasets whose ground truths are given. Then we apply the unmixing methods (VCA, NMF, N-FINDR) t…

Hyperspectral image (HSI) with high spectral resolution often suffers from low spatial resolution owing to the limitations of imaging sensors. Image fusion is an effective and economical way to enhance the spatial resolution of HSI, which combines HSI with higher spatial resolution multispectral image (MSI) of the same scenario. In the past years, many HSI and MSI fusion algorithms are introduced to obtain high-resolution HSI. However, it lacks a full-scale review for the newly proposed HSI and MSI fusion approaches. To tackle this problem,this work gives a comprehensive review and new guideli…

In remote sensing, hyperspectral (HS) and multispectral (MS) image fusion have emerged as a synthesis tool to improve the data set resolution. However, conventional image fusion methods typically degrade the performance of the land cover classification. In this paper, a feature fusion method from HS and MS images for pixel-based classification is proposed. More precisely, the proposed method first extracts spatial features from the MS image using morphological profiles. Then, the feature fusion model assumes that both the extracted morphological profiles and the HS image can be described as a …
Coupled tensor approximation has recently emerged as a promising approach for the fusion of hyperspectral and multispectral images, reconciling state of the art performance with strong theoretical guarantees. However, tensor-based approaches previously proposed assume that the different observed images are acquired under exactly the same conditions. A recent work proposed to accommodate inter-image spectral variability in the image fusion problem using a matrix factorization-based formulation, but did not account for spatially-localized variations. Moreover, it lacks theoretical guarantees and…

Hyperspectral imaging has become a significant source of valuable data for astronomers over the past decades. Current instrumental and observing time constraints allow direct acquisition of multispectral images, with high spatial but low spectral resolution, and hyperspectral images, with low spatial but high spectral resolution. To enhance scientific interpretation of the data, we propose a data fusion method which combines the benefits of each image to recover a high spatio-spectral resolution datacube. The proposed inverse problem accounts for the specificities of astronomical instruments, …
This paper aims at providing a comprehensive framework to generate an astrophysical scene and to simulate realistic hyperspectral and multispectral data acquired by two JWST instruments, namely NIRCam Imager and NIRSpec IFU. We want to show that this simulation framework can be resorted to assess the benefits of fusing these images to recover an image of high spatial and spectral resolutions. To do so, we create a synthetic scene associated with a canonical infrared source, the Orion Bar. This scene combines pre-existing modelled spectra provided by the JWST Early Release Science Program 1288 …

The large data size and dimensionality of hyperspectral data demands complex processing and data analysis. Multispectral data do not suffer the same limitations, but are normally restricted to blue, green, red, red edge, and near infrared bands. This study aimed to identify the optimal set of spectral bands for nitrogen detection in grape leaves using ensemble feature selection on hyperspectral data from over 3,000 leaves from 150 Flame Seedless table grapevines. Six machine learning base rankers were included in the ensemble: random forest, LASSO, SelectKBest, ReliefF, SVM-RFE, and chaotic cr…

Light spectra are a very important source of information for diverse classification problems, e.g., for discrimination of materials. To lower the cost for acquiring this information, multispectral cameras are used. Several techniques exist for estimating light spectra out of multispectral images by exploiting properties about the spectrum. Unfortunately, especially when capturing multispectral videos, the images are heavily affected by noise due to the nature of limited exposure times in videos. Therefore, models that explicitly try to lower the influence of noise on the reconstructed spectrum…

Hyperspectral images are of crucial importance in order to better understand features of different materials. To reach this goal, they leverage on a high number of spectral bands. However, this interesting characteristic is often paid by a reduced spatial resolution compared with traditional multispectral image systems. In order to alleviate this issue, in this work, we propose a simple and efficient architecture for deep convolutional neural networks to fuse a low-resolution hyperspectral image (LR-HSI) and a high-resolution multispectral image (HR-MSI), yielding a high-resolution hyperspectr…

Panchromatic (PAN) and multi-spectral (MS) image fusion, named Pan-sharpening, refers to super-resolve the low-resolution (LR) multi-spectral (MS) images in the spatial domain to generate the expected high-resolution (HR) MS images, conditioning on the corresponding high-resolution PAN images. In this paper, we present a simple yet effective \textit{alternating reverse filtering network} for pan-sharpening. Inspired by the classical reverse filtering that reverses images to the status before filtering, we formulate pan-sharpening as an alternately iterative reverse filtering process, which fus…

Extensive attention has been widely paid to enhance the spatial resolution of hyperspectral (HS) images with the aid of multispectral (MS) images in remote sensing. However, the ability in the fusion of HS and MS images remains to be improved, particularly in large-scale scenes, due to the limited acquisition of HS images. Alternatively, we super-resolve MS images in the spectral domain by the means of partially overlapped HS images, yielding a novel and promising topic: spectral superresolution (SSR) of MS imagery. This is challenging and less investigated task due to its high ill-posedness i…
We demonstrate the use of deep learning for fast spectral deconstruction of speckle patterns. The artificial neural network can be effectively trained using numerically constructed multispectral datasets taken from a measured spectral transmission matrix. Optimized neural networks trained on these datasets achieve reliable reconstruction of both discrete and continuous spectra from a monochromatic camera image. Deep learning is compared to analytical inversion methods as well as to a compressive sensing algorithm and shows favourable characteristics both in the oversampling and in the sparse u…
The scattering of multispectral incoherent light is a common and unfavorable signal scrambling in natural scenes. However, the blurred light spot due to scattering still holds lots of information remaining to be explored. Former methods failed to recover the polarized hyperspectral information from scattered incoherent light or relied on additional dispersion elements. Here we put forward the transmission matrix (TM) approach for extended objects under incoherent illumination by speculating the unknown TM through experimentally calibrated or digitally emulated ways. Employing a fiber bundle as…
Satellite imaging has a central role in monitoring, detecting and estimating the intensity of key natural phenomena. One important feature of satellite images is the trade-off between spatial/spectral resolution and their revisiting time, a consequence of design and physical constraints imposed by satellite orbit among other technical limitations. In this paper, we focus on fusing multi-temporal, multi-spectral images where data acquired from different instruments with different spatial resolutions is used. We leverage the spatial relationship between images at multiple modalities to generate …
Hyperspectral super-resolution (HSR) aims at fusing a hyperspectral image (HSI) and a multispectral image (MSI) to produce a super-resolution image (SRI). Recently, a coupled tensor factorization approach was proposed to handle this challenging problem, which admits a series of advantages over the classic matrix factorization-based methods. In particular, modeling the HSI and MSI as low-rank tensors following the {\it canonical polyadic decomposition} (CPD) model, the approach is able to provably identify the SRI, under some mild conditions. However, the latent factors in the CPD model have no…

Hyperspectral imaging systems that use multispectral filter arrays (MSFA) capture only one spectral component in each pixel. Hyperspectral demosaicing is used to recover the non-measured components. While deep learning methods have shown promise in this area, they still suffer from several challenges, including limited modeling of non-local dependencies, lack of consideration of the periodic MSFA pattern that could be linked to periodic artifacts, and difficulty in recovering high-frequency details. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a novel de-mosaicing framework, the MSFA-frequ…

The recent advancement of deep learning techniques has made great progress on hyperspectral image super-resolution (HSI-SR). Yet the development of unsupervised deep networks remains challenging for this task. To this end, we propose a novel coupled unmixing network with a cross-attention mechanism, CUCaNet for short, to enhance the spatial resolution of HSI by means of higher-spatial-resolution multispectral image (MSI). Inspired by coupled spectral unmixing, a two-stream convolutional autoencoder framework is taken as backbone to jointly decompose MS and HS data into a spectrally meaningful …

In recent years, there has been an emergence of deep learning algorithms being applied to hyperspectral and multispectral imagery for remote sensing and biomedicine tasks. These multi-channel images come with their own unique set of challenges that must be addressed for effective image analysis. Challenges include limited ground truth (annotation is expensive and extensive labeling i…

It utilizes advantages of the Fourier Transform spectroscopy in the self-referencing optical setup and provides, additionally beyond spectral intensity distribution, reconstruction of the investigated object's phase. The noise amplification Fellgett's disadvantage is relaxed by the application of sparse wavefront noise filtering embedded in the proposed algorithm. The algorithm reliability is proved by simulation tests and results of physical experiments on transparent obj…

Hyperspectral super-resolution (HSR) is a problem that aims to estimate an image of high spectral and spatial resolutions from a pair of co-registered multispectral (MS) and hyperspectral (HS) images, which have coarser spectral and spatial resolutions, respectively. In this paper we pursue a low-rank matrix estimation approach for HSR. We assume that the spectral-spatial matrices associated with the whole image and the local areas of the image have low-rank structures. The local low-rank assumption, in particular, has the aim of providing a more flexible model for accounting for local variati…

The recent evolution of hyperspectral imaging technology and the proliferation of new emerging applications presses for the processing of multiple temporal hyperspectral images. In this work, we propose a novel spectral unmixing (SU) strategy using physically motivated parametric endmember representations to account for temporal spectral variability. By representing the multitemporal mixing process using a state-space formulation, we are able to exploit the Bayesian filtering machinery to estimate the endmember variability coefficients. Moreover, by assuming that the temporal variability of th…
