AN UNSUPERVISED CNN-BASED HYPERSPECTRAL PANSHARPENING METHOD

This work proposes a simple yet effective method to adapt unsupervised convolutional neural networks for pansharpening of multispectral images to the problem of hyperspectral image pansharpening, i.e., the fusion of a single high-resolution panchromatic band with a low-resolution hyperspectral data cube. This is achieved by means of a PCA transformation which allows to compact the most of the HS image energy in a few bands, which are then suitably super-resolved using a pansharpening network designed for few spectral bands. Our experiments show very encouraging results which compare favorably against the state-of-the-art methods.
