Multiscale RGB-Guided Fusion for Hyperspectral Image Super-Resolution

  • Matteo Kolyszko,
  • Marco Buzzelli,
  • Simone Bianco and
  • Raimondo Schettini

28 January 2026

Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) enables fine spectral analysis but is often limited by low spatial resolution due to sensor constraints. To address this, we propose CGNet, a color-guided hyperspectral super-resolution network that leverages complementary...
