The hyperspectral image super-resolution (HSI-SR) problem aims at reconstructing the high resolution spatial–spectral information of the scene by fusing low-resolution hyperspectral images (LR-HSI) and the corresponding high-resolution multispectral image (HR-MSI). In order to effectively preserve the spatial and spectral structure of hyperspectral images, a new joint regularized low-rank tensor decomposition method (JRLTD) is proposed for HSI-SR. This model alleviates the problem that the traditional HSI-SR method, based on tensor decomposition, fails to adequately take into account the manifold structure of high-dimensional HR-HSI and is sensitive to outliers and noise. The model first operates on the hyperspectral data using the classical Tucker decomposition to transform the hyperspectral data into the form of a three-mode dictionary multiplied by the core tensor, after which the graph regularization and unidirectional total variational (TV) regularization are introduced to constrain the three-mode dictionary. In addition, we impose the l1-norm on core tensor to characterize the sparsity. While effectively preserving the spatial and spectral structures in the fused hyperspectral images, the presence of anomalous noise values in the images is reduced. In this paper, the hyperspectral image super-resolution problem is transformed into a joint regularization optimization problem based on tensor decomposition and solved by a hybrid framework between the alternating direction multiplier method (ADMM) and the proximal alternate optimization (PAO) algorithm. Experimental results conducted on two benchmark datasets and one real dataset show that JRLTD shows superior performance over state-of-the-art hyperspectral super-resolution algorithms.
