HyVIC: A Metric-Driven Spatio-Spectral Hyperspectral Image Compression Architecture Based on Variational Autoencoders

HyVIC is a configurable variational autoencoder designed for hyperspectral image compression that explicitly separates spatial and spectral feature learning. By allowing independent control of these two aspects, the architecture improves reconstruction fidelity across a wide range of compression ratios, achieving up to 4.66 dB better BD‑PSNR than previous methods. The authors also introduce a metric‑driven strategy for hyperparameter selection and provide code and pretrained models publicly.

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.

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.
