description | Hyperspectral image (HSI) super-resolution has gained great attention in remote sensing, due to its effectiveness in enhancing the spatial information of the HSI while preserving the high spectral discriminative ability, without modifying the imagery hardware. In this paper, we proposed a novel HSI super-resolution method via a gradient-guided residual dense network (G-RDN), in which the spatial gradient is exploited to guide the super-resolution process. Specifically, there are three modules in the super-resolving process. Firstly, the spatial mapping between the low-resolution HSI and the desired high-resolution HSI is learned via a residual dense network. The residual dense network is used to fully exploit the hierarchical features learned from all the convolutional layers. Meanwhile, the gradient detail is extracted via a residual network (ResNet), which is further utilized to guide the super-resolution process. Finally, an empirical weight is set between the fully obtained global hierarchical features and the gradient details. Experimental results and the data analysis on three benchmark datasets with different scaling factors demonstrated that our proposed G-RDN achieved favorable performance. |
