Unsupervised Hyperspectral and Multispectral Image Blind Fusion Based on Deep Tucker Decomposition Network With Spatial–Spectral Manifold Learning

Hyperspectral image (HSI) and multispectral image (MSI) fusion aims to generate high spectral and spatial resolution hyperspectral image (HR-HSI) by fusing high-resolution multispectral image (HR-MSI) and low-resolution hyperspectral image (LR-HSI). However, existing fusion methods encounter challenges such as unknown degradation parameters, and incomplete exploitation of the correlation between high-dimensional structures and deep image features. To overcome these issues, in this article, an unsupervised blind fusion method for LR-HSI and HR-MSI based on Tucker decomposition and spatial-spectral manifold learning (DTDNML) is proposed. We design a novel deep Tucker decomposition network that maps LR-HSI and HR-MSI into a consistent feature space, achieving reconstruction through decoders with shared parameters. To better exploit and fuse spatial-spectral features in the data, we design a core tensor fusion network (CTFN) that incorporates a spatial-spectral attention mechanism for aligning and fusing features at different scales. Furthermore, to enhance the capacity to capture global information, a Laplacian-based spatial-spectral manifold constraint is introduced in shared-decoders. Sufficient experiments have validated that this method enhances the accuracy and efficiency of hyperspectral and multispectral fusion on different remote sensing datasets.
