This paper presents a hypserspectral image (HSI) super-resolution method which fuses a low-resolution hyperspectral image (LR-HSI) with a high-resolution multispectral image (HR-MSI) to get high-resolution HSI (HR-HSI). The proposed method first extracts the nonlocal similar patches to form a nonlocal patch tensor (NPT). A novel tensor-tensor product (t–product) based tensor sparse representation is proposed to model the extracted NPTs. Through the tensor sparse representation, both the spectral and spatial similarities between the nonlocal similar patches are well preserved. Then, the relationship between the HR-HSI and LR-HSI is built using t–product which allows us to design a unified objective function to incorporate the nonlocal similarity, tensor dictionary learning, and tensor sparse coding together. Finally, Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) is used to solve the optimization problem. Experimental results on three data sets and one real data set demonstrate that the proposed method substantially outperforms the existing state-of-the-art HSI super-resolution methods.

Anomaly detection plays an important role in remotely sensed hyperspectral image (HSI) processing. Recently, compressive sensing technology has been widely used in hyperspectral imaging. However, the reconstruction from compressive HSI and detection are commonly completed independently, which will reduce the processing's efficiency and accuracy. In this paper, we propose a framework for hyperspectral compressive sensing with anomaly detection which reconstruct the HSI and detect the anomalies simultaneously. In the proposed method, the HSI is composed of the background and anomaly parts in the tensor robust principal component analysis model. To characterize the low-dimensional structure of the background, a novel tensor nuclear norm is used to constrain the background tensor. As the anomaly part is formed by a few anomalous spectra, the anomaly part is assumed to be a tuber-wise sparse tensor. In addition, to enhance the separation of the background and anomaly, we minimize the sum of Mahalanobis distance of the background pixels. Experiments on four HSIs demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms several state-of-the-art methods on both reconstruction and anomaly detection accuracies.

Hyperspectral image (HSI) super-resolution is a hot topic in remote sensing and computer vision. Recently, tensor analysis has been proven to be an efficient technology for HSI image processing. However, the existing tensor-based methods of HSI super-resolution are not able to capture the high-order correlations in HSI. In this article, we propose to learn a high-order coupled tensor ring (TR) representation for HSI super-resolution. The proposed method first tensorizes the HSI to be estimated into a high-order tensor in which multiscale spatial structures and the original spectral structure are represented. Then, a coupled TR representation model is proposed to fuse the low-resolution HSI (LR-HSI) and high-resolution multispectral image (HR-MSI). In the proposed model, some latent core tensors in TR of the LR-HSI and the HR-MSI are shared, and we use the relationship between the spectral core tensors to reconstruct the HSI. In addition, the graph-Laplacian regularization is introduced to the spectral core tensors to preserve the spectral information. To enhance the robustness of the proposed model, Frobenius norm regularizations are introduced to the other core tensors. Experimental results on both synthetic and real data sets show that the proposed method achieves the state-of-the-art super-resolution performance.

Anomaly detection is a hot topic in hyperspectral signal processing. The key point of hyperspectral anomaly detection is the modeling of the background. In this paper, we propose a novel anomaly detection method via global and local joint modeling of background. Based on the observation that the local 3D patch belonging to the background in hyperspectral image (HSI) usually lies in a low dimensional manifold, we propose to reconstruct the background part of a HSI from its subsample by scalable low dimensional manifold modeling (SLDMM). Thus the background of HSI can be well characterized in both global and local aspects. Taking into consideration that the SLDMM reconstructs the background part at a low sampling ratio, we propose a multiple random sampling reconstruction strategy to further improve the detection accuracies and robustness. The final background is generated by the mean of backgrounds reconstructed from the multiple random sampling and the anomalies are contained in the residual between the observed HSI and the mean background. Experimental results on three real data sets demonstrate that the proposed anomaly detection method outperforms other state-of-the-art hyperspectral anomaly detection methods.

In this paper, a spectral-spatial convolution neural network with Siamese architecture (SSCNN-S) for hyperspectral image (HSI) change detection (CD) is proposed. First, tensors are extracted in two HSIs recorded at different time points separately and tensor pairs are constructed. The tensor pairs are then incorporated into the spectral-spatial network to obtain two spectral-spatial vectors. Thereafter, the Euclidean distances of the two spectral-spatial vectors are calculated to represent the similarity of the tensor pairs. We use a Siamese network based on contrastive loss to train and optimize the network so that the Euclidean distance output by the network describes the similarity of tensor pairs as accurately as possible. Finally, the values obtained by inputting all tensor pairs into the trained model are used to judge whether a pixel belongs to the change area. SSCNN-S aims to transform the problem of HSI CD into a problem of similarity measurement for tensor pairs by introducing the Siamese network. The network used to extract tensor features in SSCNN-S combines spectral and spatial information to reduce the impact of noise on CD. Additionally, a useful four-test scoring method is proposed to improve the experimental efficiency instead of taking the mean value from multiple measurements. Experiments on real data sets have demonstrated the validity of the SSCNN-S method.
