Hyperspectral remote sensing provides dense spectral measurements that are indispensable for material-level Earth observation, yet the construction of a general-purpose hyperspectral foundation model...
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.

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.

Self-supervised learning (SSL) is designed to learn generic, transferable representations rather than representations optimized for a single task. Most geospatial benchmarks evaluate representations solely through downstream tasks, providing limited insight into the information encoded within the representation itself.
