UMAG-Net: A New Unsupervised Multiattention-Guided Network for Hyperspectral and Multispectral Image Fusion

Abstract

To reconstruct images with high spatial resolution and high spectral resolution, one of the most common methods is to fuse a low-resolution hyperspectral image (HSI) with a high-resolution (HR) multispectral image (MSI) of the same scene. Deep learning has been widely applied in the field of HSI-MSI fusion, which is limited with hardware. In order to break the limits, we construct an unsupervised multiattention-guided network named UMAG-Net without training data to better accomplish HSI-MSI fusion. UMAG-Net first extracts deep multiscale features of MSI by using a multiattention encoding network. Then, a loss function containing a pair of HSI and MSI is used to iteratively update parameters of UMAG-Net and learn prior knowledge of the fused image. Finally, a multiscale feature-guided network is constructed to generate an HR-HSI. The experimental results show the visual and quantitative superiority of the proposed method compared to other methods.
