Hyper-spectral image fusion has been a hot topic in medical imaging and remote sensing. This paper proposes a Bayesian fusion model which combines the panchromatic (PAN) image and the low spatial resolution hyper-spectral (HS) image under the same framework. Sparsity constraint is introduced as double "spike-and-slab" priors, and anisotropic Gaussian noise is adopted for accuracy. To achieve reduction in computational complexity, we turn the anisotropic Gaussian distribution into isotropic one with modified linear transformation and propose a variational Bayesian expectation maximization (EM) algorithm to calculate the result. Experiment results show that our solution can achieve comparable performance in pan-sharpening to other state-of-art algorithms while largely reducing the computational complexity.Index Terms-Hyper-spectral image fusion, sparse prior, computational complexity, anisotropic Gaussian distribution, variational Bayesian algorithm
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
