CTCP: Cross Transformer and CNN for Pansharpening
MM '23: Proceedings of the 31st ACM International Conference on Multimedia(2023)
Abstract
Pansharpening is to fuse a high-resolution panchromatic (PAN) image with a low-resolution multispectral (LRMS) image to obtain an enhanced LRMS image with high spectral and spatial resolution. The current Transformer-based pansharpening methods neglect the interaction between the extracted long- and short-range features, resulting in spectral and spatial distortion in the fusion results. To address this issue, a novel cross Transformer and convolutional neural network (CNN) for pansharpening (CTCP) is proposed to achieve better fusion results by designing a cross mechanism, which can enhance the interaction between long- and short-range features. First, a dual branch feature extraction module (DBFEM) is constructed to extract the features from the LRMS and PAN images, respectively, reducing the aliasing of the two image features. In the DBFEM, to improve the feature representation ability of the network, a cross long-short-range feature module (CLSFM) is designed by combining the feature learning capabilities of Transformer and CNN via the cross mechanism, which achieves the integration of long-short-range features. Then, to improve the ability of spectral feature representation, a spectral feature enhancement fusion module (SFEFM) based on a frequency channel attention is constructed to realize feature fusion. Finally, the shallow features from the PAN image are reused to provide detail features, which are integrated with the fused features to obtain the final pansharpened results. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to introduce the cross mechanism between Transformer and CNN in pansharpening field. Numerous experiments show that our CTCP outperforms some state-of-the-art (SOTA) approaches both subjectively and objectively. The source code will be released at https://github.com/zhsu99/CTCP.
