Acquiring high-quality hyperspectral imagery with high spatial and spectral resolution plays an important role in remote sensing. Due to the limited capacity of sensors, providing high spatial and spectral resolution is still a challenging issue. Spectral super-resolution (SSR) increases the spectral dimensionality of multispectral images to achieve resolution enhancement. In this article, we propose a spectral resolution enhancement method based on the generative adversarial network framework without introducing additional spectral responses prior. In order to adaptively rescale informative features for capturing interdependencies in the spectral and spatial dimensions, a spatial spectral feature attention module is introduced. The proposed method jointly exploits spatio-spectral distribution in the hyperspectral manifold to increase spectral resolution while maintaining spatial content consistency. Experiments are conducted on both synthetic Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2 radiance data and real coregistered advanced land image and Hyperion (MS and HS) images, which indicates the superiority of the proposed method compared to other state-of-the-art 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.
