Hyperspectral image resolution enhancement based on joint sparsity spectral unmixing

Abstract

Relatively low spatial resolution of the space-borne hyper-spectral images (HSI) is the main drawback to derive value added products. Recently, several techniques have been proposed in order to enhance the spatial resolution HSI by means of fusion with higher spatial resolution multispectral images. This paper presents an alternative approach based on the joint sparsity model for spectral unmixing with the use of a-priori spectral dictionary. To assess the results, we compare our algorithm with the state of the art methods.
