<p class="MsoPlainText">Abstract:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Hyperspectral super-resolution refers (HSR) to the problem of producing
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">a super-resolution image (SRI) of high spatial and spectral resolution.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The task is very well-motivated, since super-resolution images are of
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">great interest to multiple applications in agricultural analytics and
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">remote sensing. However, hardware limitations of multiband sensors
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">render the problem significantly costly and challenging. A natural way
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">to overcome this issue is by fusing a hyperspectral image (HSI) and a
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">multispectral image (MSI) to produce an SRI that admits fine spatial and
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">spectral resolutions. This inverse problem remains ill-posed, since the
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">number of pixels in hyperspectral and multispectral images combined, are
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">fewer that those required for super-resolution. In this talk, the
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">super-resolution problem is tackled from a tensor perspective. The
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">multidimensional structure of the HSI and MSI is utilized to propose a
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">coupled tensor factorization framework that is guaranteed to recover the
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">SRI. Furthermore, this tensor approach operates with relaxed modelling
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">assumptions compared to what was previously considered state-of-the-art.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The proposed tensor framework works remarkably well under various and
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">challenging scenarios and provides a new tool in the powerful multi-band
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">imaging toolbox.<o:p></o:p></p>
