VOGTNet: Variational Optimization-Guided Two-Stage Network for Multispectral and Panchromatic Image Fusion.

Multispectral image (MS) and panchromatic image (PAN) fusion, which is also named as multispectral pansharpening, aims to obtain MS with high spatial resolution and high spectral resolution. However, due to the usual neglect of noise and blur generated in the imaging and transmission phases of data during training, many deep learning (DL) pansharpening methods fail to perform on the dataset containing noise and blur. To tackle this problem, a variational optimization-guided two-stage network (VOGTNet) for multispectral pansharpening is proposed in this work, and the performance of variational optimization (VO)-based pansharpening methods relies on prior information and estimates of spatial-spectral degradation from the target image to other two original images.

Interferometer response characterization algorithm for multi-aperture Fabry-Perot imaging spectrometers.

In recent years, the demand for hyperspectral imaging devices has grown significantly, driven by their ability of capturing high-resolution spectral information. Among the several possible optical designs for acquiring hyperspectral images, there is a growing interest in interferometric spectral imaging systems based on division of aperture. These systems have the advantage of capturing snapshot acquisitions while maintaining a compact design.

Feasibility of a Real-Time Embedded Hyperspectral Compressive Sensing Imaging System.

Hyperspectral imaging has been attracting considerable interest as it provides spectrally rich acquisitions useful in several applications, such as remote sensing, agriculture, astronomy, geology and medicine. Hyperspectral devices based on compressive acquisitions have appeared recently as an alternative to conventional hyperspectral imaging systems and allow for data-sampling with fewer acquisitions than classical imaging techniques, even under the Nyquist rate. However, compressive hyperspectral imaging requires a reconstruction algorithm in order to recover all the data from the raw compressed acquisition.

A Variational Pansharpening Approach Based on Reproducible Kernel Hilbert Space and Heaviside Function.

Pansharpening is an important application in remote sensing image processing. It can increase the spatial-resolution of a multispectral image by fusing it with a high spatial-resolution panchromatic image in the same scene, which brings great favor for subsequent processing such as recognition, detection, etc. In this paper, we propose a continuous modeling and sparse optimization based method for the fusion of a panchromatic image and a multispectral image.

Automatic fish sounds classification.

The work presented in this paper focuses on the use of acoustic systems for passive acoustic monitoring of ocean vitality for fish populations. Specifically, it focuses on the use of acoustic systems for passive acoustic monitoring of ocean vitality for fish populations. To this end, various indicators can be used to monitor marine areas such as both the geographical and temporal evolution of fish populations.

Automatic Attribute Profiles.

Morphological attribute profiles are multilevel decompositions of images obtained with a sequence of transformations performed by connected operators. They have been extensively employed in performing multi-scale and region-based analysis in a large number of applications. One main, still unresolved, issue is the selection of filter parameters able to provide representative and non-redundant threshold decomposition of the image.

Fusion of Multispectral and Panchromatic Images Based on Morphological Operators.

Nonlinear decomposition schemes constitute an alternative to classical approaches for facing the problem of data fusion. In this paper, we discuss the application of this methodology to a popular remote sensing application called pansharpening, which consists in the fusion of a low resolution multispectral image and a high-resolution panchromatic image. We design a complete pansharpening scheme based on the use of morphological half gradient operators and demonstrate the suitability of this algorithm through the comparison with the state-of-the-art approaches.

Hyperspectral image segmentation using a new spectral unmixing-based binary partition tree representation.

The binary partition tree (BPT) is a hierarchical region-based representation of an image in a tree structure. The BPT allows users to explore the image at different segmentation scales. Often, the tree is pruned to get a more compact representation and so the remaining nodes conform an optimal partition for some given task.
