Correlation Matrix-Based Fusion of Hyperspectral and Multispectral Images

The fusion of the hyperspectral image (HSI) and the multispectral image (MSI) is commonly employed to obtain a high spatial resolution hyperspectral image (HR-HSI); however, existing methods often involve complex feature extraction and optimization steps, resulting in time-consuming fusion processes...

description The fusion of the hyperspectral image (HSI) and the multispectral image (MSI) is commonly employed to obtain a high spatial resolution hyperspectral image (HR-HSI); however, existing methods often involve complex feature extraction and optimization steps, resulting in time-consuming fusion processes. Additionally, these methods typically require parameter adjustments for different datasets. Still, reliable references for parameter adjustment are often unavailable in practical scenarios, leading to subpar fusion results compared to simulated scenarios. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a fusion method based on a correlation matrix. Firstly, we assume the existence of a correlation matrix that effectively correlates the spectral and spatial information of HSI and MSI, enabling fast fusion. Subsequently, we derive a correlation matrix that satisfies the given assumption by deducing the generative relationship among HR-HSI, HSI, and MSI. Finally, we optimize the fused result using the Sylvester equation. We tested our proposed method on two simulated datasets and one real dataset. Experimental results demonstrate that our method outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods. Particularly, in terms of fusion time, our method achieves fusion in less than 0.1 seconds in some cases. This method provides a practical and feasible solution for the fusion of hyperspectral and multispectral images, overcoming the challenges of complex fusion processes and parameter adjustment while ensuring a quick fusion process.
