Abstract
Pan-Mamba is a pioneering pan-sharpening network that integrates the state space model to achieve efficient long-range dependency modeling and cross-modal information exchange. By customizing core components like channel swapping Mamba and cross-modal Mamba, the model surpasses existing methods in pan-sharpening across various datasets.
The content discusses the challenges faced by traditional pan-sharpening approaches and highlights the advancements made by deep learning-based models like PanNet, MSDCNN, SRPPNN, INNformer, SFINet, MSDDN, and PanFlowNet. These models leverage different techniques such as multi-scale methods, frequency domain information, transformers, flow-based models, and domain-specific knowledge to improve pan-sharpening results.
Furthermore, the article delves into the introduction of the State Space Model in visual tasks through adaptations like Vision Mamba and Vmaba. It explores how these adaptations have shown promising results in classification and segmentation tasks but have not been extensively explored for multimodal image fusion.
The study also includes detailed methods sections explaining the fundamental knowledge of state space modeling, network architecture design with Mamba blocks for feature extraction and fusion modules like channel swapping Mamba and cross-modal Mamba. A loss function based on L1 loss is adopted for training stability.
Extensive experiments are conducted on diverse datasets like WorldView-II (WV2), Gaofen-2 (GF2), and WorldView-III (WV3) to evaluate the proposed Pan-Mamba network against traditional and deep learning-based methods. The results demonstrate superior performance in terms of PSNR, SSIM, SAM metrics across different datasets.
Ablation studies are performed to validate the effectiveness of each module within Pan-Mamba - including the State Space Model core operation, Mamba block for feature extraction, channel swapping Mamba block for shallow feature fusion, and cross-modal Mamba block for deep feature fusion.
Efficiency comparisons highlight that Pan-Mamba achieves superior performance with fewer parameters compared to other operators like self-attention or convolution while maintaining robust spectral accuracy and texture preservation capabilities.
