Abstract

Promoting the spatial resolution of hyperspectral sensors is expected to improve computer vision tasks. However, due to the physical limitations of imaging sensors, the hyperspectral image is often of low spatial resolution. In this paper, we propose a new hyperspectral image super-resolution method from a low-resolution (LR) hyperspectral image and a high resolution (HR) multispectral image of the same scene. The reconstruction of HR hyperspectral image is formulated as a joint estimation of the hyperspectral dictionary and the sparse codes based on the spatial-spectral sparsity of the hyperspectral image. The hyperspectral dictionary is learned from the LR hyperspectral image. The sparse codes with respect to the learned dictionary are estimated from LR hyperspectral image and the corresponding HR multispectral image. To improve the accuracy, both spectral dictionary learning and sparse coefficients estimation exploit the spatial correlation of the HR hyperspectral image. Experiments show that the proposed method outperforms several state-of-art hyperspectral image super-resolution methods in objective quality metrics and visual performance.
