With the recent advances achieved by deep neural networks in image processing applications, researchers have begun exploring deep learning in pansharpening and obtained remarkable results. However, the existing methods are generally limited by their weak feature representation ability, often leading to spectral distortion or spatial blur. To generate high‐quality pansharpened images, this article proposes a novel neural network for pansharpening that includes both feature extraction and excitation mechanisms to consider important features. The neural network is modified with domain knowledge in pansharpening to fully extract spectral and spatial structures, and the proposed method outperforms traditional methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
