LOCAL SIMILARITY REGULARIZED SPARSE REPRESENTATION FOR HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGE SUPER-RESOLUTION

Recently, performance of hyperspectral image super-resolution (SR) has been significantly improved via sparse representation. However, most of these existing methods fail to consider the local geometrical structure of the sparse coefficients. To take this crucial issue into account, this paper proposes an effective method, which exploits the location related constraint about the sparse coefficients and incorporates their local similarity into the sparse coding process. Thus, the proposed method can preserve the properties of the aforementioned local geometrical structures. Based on the experimental results, the proposed method is demonstrated to be more effective than previous efforts in the task of hyperspectral image SR.
