Pan-Sharpening via Multiscale Dynamic Convolutional Neural Network

摘要

Pan-sharpening is an effective method to obtain high-resolution multispectral images by fusing panchromatic (PAN) images with fine spatial structure and low-resolution multispectral images with rich spectral information. In this article, a multiscale pan-sharpening method based on dynamic convolutional neural network is proposed. The filters in dynamic convolution are generated dynamically and locally by the filter generation network which is different from the standard convolution and strengthens the adaptivity of the network. The dynamic filters are adaptively changed according to the input images. The proposed multiscale dynamic convolutions extract detail feature of PAN image at different scales. Multiscale network structure is beneficial to obtain effective detail features. The weights obtained by the weight generation network are used to adjust the relationship among the detail features in each scale. The GeoEye-1, QuickBird, and WorldView-3 data are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. Compared with the widely used state-of-the-art pan-sharpening approaches, the experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method in terms of both objective quality indexes and visual performance.
