A Selective Re-learning Mechanism for Hyperspectral Fusion Imaging

Hyperspectral fusion imaging is challenged by high computational cost due to the abundant spectral information. We find that pixels in regions with smooth spatial-spectral structure can be reconstructed well using a shallow network, while only those in regions with complex spatial-spectral structure require a deeper network. However, existing methods process all pixels uniformly, which ignores this property. To leverage this property, we propose a Selective Re-learning Fusion Network (SRLF) that initially extracts features from all pixels uniformly and then selectively refines distorted feature points. Specifically, SRLF first employs a Preliminary Fusion Module with robust global modeling capability to generate a preliminary fusion feature. Afterward, it applies a Selective Re-learning Module to focus on improving distorted feature points in the preliminary fusion feature. To achieve targeted learning, we present a novel Spatial-Spectral Structure-Guided Selective Re-learning Mechanism (SSG-SRL) that integrates the observation model to identify the feature points with spatial or spectral distortions. Only these distorted points are sent to the corresponding re-learning blocks, reducing both computational cost and the risk of overfitting. Finally, we develop an SRLF-Net, composed of multiple cascaded SRLFs, which surpasses multiple state-of-the-art methods on several datasets with minimal computational cost.
