From Image- to Pixel-level: Label-efficient Hyperspectral Image Reconstruction

원문 초록

Current hyperspectral image (HSI) reconstruction methods primarily rely on image-level approaches, which are time-consuming to form abundant high-quality HSIs through imagers. In contrast, spectrometers offer a more efficient alternative by capturing high-fidelity point spectra, enabling pixel-level HSI reconstruction that balances accuracy and label efficiency. To this end, we introduce a pixel-level spectral super-resolution (Pixel-SSR) paradigm that reconstructs HSI from RGB and point spectra. Despite its advantages, Pixel-SSR presents two key challenges: 1) generalizability to novel scenes lacking point spectra, and 2) effective information extraction to promote reconstruction accuracy. To address the first challenge, a Gamma-modeled strategy is investigated to synthesize point spectra based on their intrinsic properties, including nonnegativity, a skewed distribution, and a positive correlation. Furthermore, complementary three-branch prompts from RGB and point spectra are extracted with a Dynamic Prompt Mamba (DyPro-Mamba), which progressively directs the reconstruction with global spatial distributions, edge details, and spectral dependency. Comprehensive evaluations, including horizontal comparisons with leading methods and vertical assessments across unsupervised and image-level supervised paradigms, demonstrate that ours achieves competitive reconstruction accuracy with efficient label consumption.
