Jointly sparse fusion of hyperspectral and multispectral imagery

Abstract

In this paper we apply the recently proposed J-SparseFI data fusion method to the fusion of a low-resolution hyperspectral image and a high-resolution multispectral image. The high correlation of signals in adjacent hyperspectral channels is exploited by assuming signals in different channels are jointly sparse in suitable dictionaries that are created from the multispectral image. First experimental results using airborne HySpex hyperspectral data and synthesized WorldView-2 imagery are presented.
