Lightweight Transformer with Transposed-attention for Hyperspectral Unmixing

Abstract

Hyperspectral unmixing primarily involves accurately estimating the end members and abundances from mixed pixels in hyperspectral images. In our task, we design a transposed-attention mechanism in the lightweight Transformer to capture the effective information between channels to provide better performance and faster computing speed. We compare the proposed model with those of the CyCU, FCLS, and DHTN methods. The quantitative and qualitative results indicate that our method outperforms the quality of endmember spectral and abundance maps and has a competitive advantage in calculation speed.
