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.

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.

Existence of Minimizers for the Gaussian Mumford-Shah Model via Covariance Floors on the Value Distribution

The paper investigates the Gaussian Mumford–Shah model, which segments images by minimizing a Gaussian negative log‑likelihood plus a perimeter penalty. It shows that the energy can become unbounded below if a region’s covariance degenerates, but imposing a quantitative covariance floor (or equivalently a uniform Hölder continuity condition on the histogram’s one‑dimensional marginals) guarantees a lower bound and ensures the existence of a minimizer. The authors argue that such covariance floors are generic for noisy images, cannot be scale‑independent, and use the theory to prove convergence of practical regularized models and numerical methods.

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.

A PyTorch Library for Hyperspectral Image Models: Technical Report

The paper introduces a PyTorch library that unifies 55 hyperspectral image models across six deep‑learning paradigms, providing a common registry, automatic tensor adaptation, and standardized constructors. It includes 24 benchmark scenes from various sensors, with tools for data preprocessing, patch extraction, and rigorous train‑test partitioning to avoid overlap. Experiments on 1,320 model‑scene combinations show that scene difficulty outweighs architecture choice, with no single paradigm dominating and small models performing competitively with much larger ones.

Hyperspectral Diffusion Equivariant Imaging (HyDiff-EI): A Self-supervised Framework for Hyperspectral Image Inpainting

The paper introduces HyDiff-EI, a self‑supervised framework that performs hyperspectral image inpainting using diffusion modeling without large‑scale pretraining. It learns directly from a single corrupted acquisition through test‑time optimization, incorporating equivariant consistency constraints that exploit the geometric symmetries of hyperspectral data. Experiments on real datasets such as Chikusei, Botswana, and EMIT show that HyDiff-EI achieves superior inpainting quality compared to existing self‑supervised and diffusion‑based methods, even under noisy conditions.
