CGFformer: Cluster-Guidance Frequency Transformer for Pansharpening

Pansharpening aims to generate high-resolution multispectral (HRMS) images by fusing low-resolution multispectral (LRMS) images with high-resolution panchromatic (PAN) images. However, the current mainstream frequency-based pansharpening methods employ fixed frequency filters, which cannot precisely adapt to complex and spatially diversified frequency distributions in PAN and MS images. Furthermore, existing denoising strategies insufficiently exploit frequency components for denoising and struggle to suppress various noise types accurately. To address these challenges, we propose CGFformer, a cluster-guidance frequency Transformer that focuses on varying frequency distribution and interactions between frequency and spatial components. Specifically, we design an adaptive separation module that integrates local features and non-local information through K-means clustering, enabling more precise separation of high- and low-frequency components. Subsequently, we introduce a dual-stream refinement module combined with Transformer-based cross-attention to remove various noise, allowing the network to jointly suppress frequency-relevant and irrelevant disturbances. In addition, we develop a frequency-spatial fusion module designed to enhance detail and facilitate spatial-frequency interaction, ensuring more effective reconstruction of spatial structures in the fused results. Extensive experiments on multiple benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed CGFformer achieves notable improvements over existing pansharpening approaches.

Deep Gradient Projection Networks for Pan-sharpening

Pan-sharpening is an important technique for remote sensing imaging systems to obtain high resolution multispectral images. Recently, deep learning has become the most popular tool for pan-sharpening. This paper develops a model-based deep pan-sharpening approach. Specifically, two optimization problems regularized by the deep prior are formulated, and they are separately responsible for the generative models for panchromatic images and low resolution multispectral images. Then, the two problems are solved by a gradient projection algorithm, and the iterative steps are generalized into two network blocks. By alternatively stacking the two blocks, a novel network, called gradient projection based pan-sharpening neural network, is constructed. The experimental results on different kinds of satellite datasets demonstrate that the new network outperforms state-of-the-art methods both visually and quantitatively. The codes are available at https://github.com/xsxjtu/GPPNN.

Bayesian Fusion for Infrared and Visible Images

Infrared and visible image fusion has been a hot issue in image fusion. In this task, a fused image containing both the gradient and detailed texture information of visible images as well as the thermal radiation and highlighting targets of infrared images is expected to be obtained. In this paper, a novel Bayesian fusion model is established for infrared and visible images. In our model, the image fusion task is cast into a regression problem. To measure the variable uncertainty, we formulate the model in a hierarchical Bayesian manner. Aiming at making the fused image satisfy human visual system, the model incorporates the total-variation(TV) penalty. Subsequently, the model is efficiently inferred by the expectation-maximization(EM) algorithm. We test our algorithm on TNO and NIR image fusion datasets with several state-of-the-art approaches. Compared with the previous methods, the novel model can generate better fused images with high-light targets and rich texture details, which can improve the reliability of the target automatic detection and recognition system.

Deep Convolutional Sparse Coding Networks for Image Fusion

Image fusion is a significant problem in many fields including digital photography, computational imaging and remote sensing, to name but a few. Recently, deep learning has emerged as an important tool for image fusion. This paper presents three deep convolutional sparse coding (CSC) networks for three kinds of image fusion tasks (i.e., infrared and visible image fusion, multi-exposure image fusion, and multi-modal image fusion). The CSC model and the iterative shrinkage and thresholding algorithm are generalized into dictionary convolution units. As a result, all hyper-parameters are learned from data. Our extensive experiments and comprehensive comparisons reveal the superiority of the proposed networks with regard to quantitative evaluation and visual inspection.

MFFW: A new dataset for multi-focus image fusion

Multi-focus image fusion (MFF) is a fundamental task in the field of computational photography. Current methods have achieved significant performance improvement. It is found that current methods are evaluated on simulated image sets or Lytro dataset. Recently, a growing number of researchers pay attention to defocus spread effect, a phenomenon of real-world multi-focus images. Nonetheless, defocus spread effect is not obvious in simulated or Lytro datasets, where popular methods perform very similar. To compare their performance on images with defocus spread effect, this paper constructs a new dataset called MFF in the wild (MFFW). It contains 19 pairs of multi-focus images collected on the Internet. We register all pairs of source images, and provide focus maps and reference images for part of pairs. Compared with Lytro dataset, images in MFFW significantly suffer from defocus spread effect. In addition, the scenes of MFFW are more complex. The experiments demonstrate that most state-of-the-art methods on MFFW dataset cannot robustly generate satisfactory fusion images. MFFW can be a new baseline dataset to test whether an MMF algorithm is able to deal with defocus spread effect.

Towards Reducing Severe Defocus Spread Effects for Multi-Focus Image Fusion via an Optimization Based Strategy

Multi-focus image fusion (MFF) is a popular technique to generate an all-in-focus image, where all objects in the scene are sharp. However, existing methods pay little attention to defocus spread effects of the real-world multi-focus images. Consequently, most of the methods perform badly in the areas near focus map boundaries. According to the idea that each local region in the fused image should be similar to the sharpest one among source images, this paper presents an optimization-based approach to reduce defocus spread effects. Firstly, a new MFF assessmentmetric is presented by combining the principle of structure similarity and detected focus maps. Then, MFF problem is cast into maximizing this metric. The optimization is solved by gradient ascent. Experiments conducted on the real-world dataset verify superiority of the proposed model. The codes are available at https://github.com/xsxjtu/MFF-SSIM.
