Abstract
Remote sensing images, especially hyperspectral images (HSIs), are extremely vulnerable to random noise and stripe noise. As a key aspect of HSI data quality improvement, stripe noise removal has always been a pervasive issue in remote sensing image processing. Convolutional neural networks have been applied for HSI data destriping. However, the existing methods lose the stripe-free component of the original image to a certain extent. These models also ignore the global spatial context of images and the correlation between spatial information and spectral information. Therefore, we propose a novel destriping convolutional network to overcome the problems with the existing methods. Octave convolution is used to extract cross-frequency features, and separate and compress the low-frequency information of the images, while dilation convolution (Dila-Conv) is used to reduce the amount of required calculation and also preserve the key image information. In addition, Dila-Conv can expand the receptive field to obtain multiscale features. Finally, a cross-channel enhanced spatial-spectral feature fusion module is used to acquire and integrate spatial context information and interchannel dependencies on a global scale as auxiliary information so that the network model can learn and pay attention to key feature information, specifically, what to look for and where to look at, which can facilitate the distinction between stripe and stripe-free components. Experimental results obtained using multiple datasets demonstrated that the proposed method can outperform the existing comparable methods and can produce satisfactory results in terms of visual effects and quantitative evaluation.
