Abstract

Multispectral imaging sensors typically have wavelength-dependent resolution, which limits downstream processing. Consequently, researchers have proposed multispectral image super-resolution (MSI-SR) methods which upsample low-resolution bands to achieve a common resolution across all wavelengths. However, existing MSI-SR methods are computationally expensive because they require spatially regularized deconvolution and/or training-based methods. In this paper, we introduce ResSR, a computationally efficient MSI-SR method that achieves high-quality reconstructions by using spectral decomposition along with spatial residual correction. ResSR applies singular value decomposition to identify correlations across spectral bands, uses pixel-wise computation to upsample the MSI, and then applies a residual correction process to correct the high-spatial frequency components of the upsampled bands. While ResSR is formulated as the solution to a spatially-coupled optimization problem, we use pixel-wise regularization and derive an approximate non-iterative solution, resulting in a computationally efficient, non-iterative algorithm. Results on a combination of simulated and measured data show that ResSR is 2$\times$ to 10$\times$ faster than alternative MSI-SR algorithms, while producing comparable or better image quality.
