Abstract: Hyperspectral image (HSI) denoising is a crucial preprocessing procedure for subsequent HSI applications. Unfortunately, though witnessing the development of deep learning in HSI denoising area, existing convolution-based methods face the trade-off between computational efficiency and capability to model non-local characteristics of HSI. In this paper, we propose a Spatial-Spectral Transformer (SST) to alleviate this problem. To fully explore intrinsic similarity characteristics in both spatial dimension and spectral dimension, we conduct non-local spatial self-attention and global spectral self-attention with Transformer architecture. The window-based spatial self-attention focuses on the spatial similarity beyond neighboring region. While, spectral self-attention exploits the long-range dependencies between highly correlative bands. Experimental results show that our proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art HSI denoising methods in quantitative quality and visual results.

Prepare Dataset

All the testing data are avalibal at Baidu Disk code:azx0.

Due to the space limitation, we only provide some examples of testing data in Google Driver.

You can also generate testing samples by yourself through utility/dataset.py.

ICVL dataset

• The entire ICVL dataset download link: https://icvl.cs.bgu.ac.il/hyperspectral/
  1. split the entire dataset into training samples, testing samples and validating samples. The files used in training are listed in utility/icvl_train_list.txt.

2. generate lmdb dataset for training

python utility/lmdb_data.py

3. download the testing data from BaiduDisk or generate them by yourself through

python utility/mat_data.py
python utility/dataset.py

WDC dataset

• The entire WDC dataset download link: https://engineering.purdue.edu/~biehl/MultiSpec/hyperspectral.html

The codes for split it to traning, testing, validating are available at utility/mat_data.py splitWDC(). Run the createDCmall() function in utility/lmdb_data.py to generate training lmdb dataset. To generate testing files with noise, replace the srcdir and dstdir in utility/dataset.py and run utility/dataset.py.

Urban dataset

• The training dataset are from: https://apex-esa.org/ as [direct link for file]. The origin Urban dataset are from link: https://rslab.ut.ac.ir/data. We also provide these file with mat format in Baidu Disk()

1. Run the create_big_apex_dataset() funtion in utility/mat_data.py to generate training samples.

2. Run the createDCmall() function in utility/lmdb_data.py to generate training lmdb dataset.

3. Run the create_Urban_test() function in utility/mat_data.py to generate testing samples.
