Deep Adaptive Unfolded Network via Spatial Morphology Stripping and Spectral Filtration for Pan-sharpening

In the field of pan-sharpening, existing deep methods are hindered in deepening cross-modal complementarity in the intermediate feature, and lack effective strategies to harness the network entirety for optimal solutions, exhibiting limited feasibility and interpretability due to their black-box designs. Besides, validating pan-sharpening performance in high-level semantic tasks is intractable for the absence of datasets. To tackle these issues, we propose a deep adaptive unfolded network via spatial morphology stripping and spectral filtration for pan-sharpening, which is conceptualized as a linear inverse problem regularized by spatial and spectral priors. Specifically, we incorporate phase-oriented constraints into spatial priors to facilitate the thorough extraction of modal-invariant spatial morphology by intrinsic decomposition and leverage physics-driven spectral filtration attention mechanisms aligned with spectral prior to mine the inherent spectral correlation. After transparently unfolding the model into a multi-stage network, an adaptive stage-exiting mechanism is designed to capitalize on fusion diversity by aggregating optimal image patches across candidate stages. To systematically complete the assessment, we construct the first panoptic segmentation as a semantic-level benchmark for pan-sharpening performance validation. Extensive experiments are conducted to verify the merits of our method with state-of-the-art methods.
