HyperSAM: A Promptable Foundation Model for Hyperspectral Remote Sensing

HyperSAM is a promptable foundation model for hyperspectral remote sensing that integrates a data‑centric synthesis pipeline with a spectral adaptation architecture based on Segment Anything Model 3 (SAM3). The model generates full‑spectrum hyperspectral cubes from high‑resolution multispectral imagery using a physics‑informed abundance‑transfer generator, and employs SAM3‑derived pseudo‑masks for object‑centric supervision. With a frozen SAM3 RGB branch, a trainable hyperspectral encoder, ControlNet‑style feature injection, and a mixture‑of‑experts mask refiner, HyperSAM demonstrates strong generalization across diverse hyperspectral tasks such as classification, anomaly detection, change detection, target detection, and airborne oil‑spill mapping.

HyperVision: A Channel-Adaptive Ground-Based Hyperspectral Vision Pre-trained Backbone

HyperVision introduces the first ground‑based hyperspectral pre‑trained backbone, addressing challenges of varying spectral configurations, limited annotations, and dataset diversity. It employs a channel‑adaptive dynamic embedding to unify heterogeneous inputs, a multi‑source pseudo‑labeling strategy combining SAM2 spatial cues with HyperFree spectral details, and cross‑modal knowledge distillation from a pre‑trained RGB vision model. Trained on 15k images from 26 datasets, HyperVision achieves significant improvements—up to 16.3% relative gain in hyperspectral semantic segmentation, 2.1% in object tracking AUC, and 35.5% reduction in salient object detection MAE—while requiring only head‑only adaptation.

Hyperspectral Image Models: Technical Report

The technical report introduces Hyperspectral Image Models, a modular framework that unifies 55 deep‑learning models across six paradigms for hyperspectral remote sensing. It standardizes tensor conventions, evaluation protocols, and dataset handling, integrating 24 benchmark scenes from various sensors and providing tools to avoid train‑test overlap. Experiments across 1,320 model‑scene combinations show that scene difficulty outweighs architecture, with no single paradigm dominating and small models achieving performance comparable to much larger ones.

Learning Spatial-Spectral Refinement and Calibrating Complementary Observations for Hyperspectral Image Super-Resolution

The paper introduces TSR-ITNR, a two‑stage, self‑supervised framework for hyperspectral image super‑resolution that fuses high‑resolution multispectral and low‑resolution hyperspectral data. Stage 1 refines an implicit Tucker representation using a low‑rank spatial tensor and spectral basis, enhanced by a pretrained denoiser, to capture fine spatial details and spectral correlations. Stage 2 applies parameter‑free calibration to extract complementary corrections from both observations, preserving geometry and ensuring orthogonal complementarity, leading to superior reconstruction quality demonstrated on benchmark datasets and improved downstream segmentation performance.

AGSA-Net: Abundance-Guided Self-Attention Network for Spectral Unmixing-Aware Hyperspectral Remote Sensing Image Classification

AGSA-Net is a hyperspectral image classification framework that incorporates spectral unmixing priors through an abundance-guided self‑attention network. It first estimates physically meaningful subpixel abundance maps with non‑negativity and sum‑to‑one constraints, then uses these abundances to build an affinity prior that directs a spectral transformer to focus on class‑discriminative interactions. The transformer features are fused with compact abundance descriptors for final classification, and experiments on Indian Pines, Augsburg, and Berlin datasets show improved performance, especially in heterogeneous urban scenes.

Agentic Multimodal Models for Environmental Hyperspectral Unmixing

The paper presents an agentic framework that uses a large vision‑language model to refine hyperspectral unmixing results from existing modular pipelines. By iteratively gathering spectral and spatial evidence through tools such as spectral‑library retrieval and abundance‑map visualization, the agent merges or discards endmembers and re‑estimates abundances. Experiments on HYDICE Urban, Jasper Ridge, and Stonewall Playa datasets show consistent improvements in endmember cardinality and overall decomposition quality across multiple pipelines, while remaining competitive with end‑to‑end methods.

MWIR-4-Plastic: The Identification of Complex End-of-Life Industrial Plastic using Mid-wave Infrared Hyperspectral Imaging and Machine Learning

The paper presents the first publicly available hyperspectral imaging (HSI) dataset of shredded black plastics from end‑of‑life vehicle waste, covering four industrial polymers across RGB, VNIR, SWIR, and MWIR modalities. It introduces a multi‑modal spectral‑spatial framework that combines foreground isolation, pixel‑wise classification, and object‑level majority voting, leveraging hyperspectral transformers and chemometric band selection to accurately classify complex black plastics. The study benchmarks nine processing methods—including chemometric, machine learning, and deep learning architectures—providing a reproducible, comprehensive benchmark for industrial hyperspectral object analysis.
