Sparse Training Data-Based Hyperspectral Image Super Resolution Via ANFIS Interpolation

Hyperspectral image super resolution aims to improve the spatial resolution of given hyperspectral images, which has become a highly attractive topic in the field of image processing. Existing techniques typically focus on super resolution with sufficient training data. However, restricted by data acquisition conditions, certain hyperspectral images or band images are very different to obtain, resulted in insufficient training data. In order to solve this problem, a new hyperspectral image super resolution method is proposed in this paper in an effort to conduct the super resolution task over insufficient (sparse) training data, by applying the recently introduced ANFIS (Adaptive Network-based Fuzzy Inference System) interpolation method. Particularly, the training dataset is divided into several subsets. For the subsets with sufficient training data, the relevant ANFIS models are trained using standard ANFIS learning algorithm, while for the subsets with sparse training data, the corresponding ANFIS models are interpolated through the use of ANFIS interpolation. Experimental results indicate that compared with the methods using sufficient training data, the proposed method can achieve very similar result, showing its effectiveness for situations where only sparse training data is available.
