Band-wise Hyperspectral Image Pansharpening using CNN Model Propagation

Hyperspectral pansharpening is receiving a growing interest since the last few years as testified by a large number of research papers and challenges. It consists in a pixel-level fusion between a lower-resolution hyperspectral datacube and a higher-resolution single-band image, the panchromatic image, with the goal of providing a hyperspectral datacube at panchromatic resolution. Thanks to their powerful representational capabilities, deep learning models have succeeded to provide unprecedented results on many general purpose image processing tasks. However, when moving to domain specific problems, as in this case, the advantages with respect to traditional model-based approaches are much lesser clear-cut due to several contextual reasons. Scarcity of training data, lack of ground-truth, data shape variability, are some such factors that limit the generalization capacity of the state-of-the-art deep learning networks for hyperspectral pansharpening. To cope with these limitations, in this work we propose a new deep learning method which inherits a simple single-band unsupervised pansharpening model nested in a sequential band-wise adaptive scheme, where each band is pansharpened refining the model tuned on the preceding one. By doing so, a simple model is propagated along the wavelength dimension, adaptively and flexibly, with no need to have a fixed number of spectral bands, and, with no need to dispose of large, expensive and labeled training datasets. The proposed method achieves very good results on our datasets, outperforming both traditional and deep learning reference methods. The implementation of the proposed method can be found on https://github.com/giu-guarino/R-PNN
