MambaX: Image Super-Resolution with State Predictive Control

Authors: Chenyu LiDanfeng HongBing ZhangZhaojie PanNaoto YokoyaJocelyn Chanussot

Abstract

Image super-resolution (SR) is a critical technology for overcoming the inherent hardware limitations of sensors. However, existing approaches mainly focus on directly enhancing the final resolution, often neglecting effective control over error propagation and accumulation during intermediate stages. Recently, Mamba has emerged as a promising approach that can represent the entire reconstruction process as a state sequence with multiple nodes, allowing for intermediate intervention. Nonetheless, its fixed linear mapper is limited by a narrow receptive field and restricted flexibility, which hampers its effectiveness in fine-grained images. To address this, we created a nonlinear state predictive control model \textbf{MambaX} that maps consecutive spectral bands into a latent state space and generalizes the SR task by dynamically learning the nonlinear state parameters of control equations. Compared to existing sequence models, MambaX 1) employs dynamic state predictive control learning to approximate the nonlinear differential coefficients of state-space models; 2) introduces a novel state cross-control paradigm for multimodal SR fusion; and 3) utilizes progressive transitional learning to mitigate heterogeneity caused by domain and modality shifts. Our evaluation demonstrates the superior performance of the dynamic spectrum-state representation model in both single-image SR and multimodal fusion-based SR tasks, highlighting its substantial potential to advance spectrally generalized modeling across arbitrary dimensions and modalities.

SP-MoMamba: Superpixel-driven Mixture of State Space Experts for Efficient Image Super-Resolution

State space models (SSMs) have emerged as a powerful paradigm for efficient single-image super-resolution (SR) due to their linear complexity and long-range modeling capabilities. However, existing Mamba-based methods typically rely on data-agnostic rigid scanning, which reshapes 2D images into 1D sequences over a fixed grid, inevitably disrupting spatial-semantic topology and introducing artifacts. Inspired by the \textbf{Gestalt perceptual grouping theory}, we propose \textbf{SP-MoMamba}, a superpixel-driven mixture of state space experts designed for content-aware SR. Our core idea is to transform the traditional rigid scanning into a \textbf{semantic-level interaction} by treating superpixels as fundamental units. Specifically, we introduce the \textbf{Superpixel-driven State Space Model (SP-SSM)}, which compresses semantically homogeneous regions into high-order tokens to preserve global topological consistency. To address the conflict between fixed scanning scales and diverse semantic granularities, we develop the \textbf{Multi-Scale Superpixel Mixture of State Space Experts (MSS-MoE)}. This module utilizes a dynamic routing mechanism to adaptively assign scale-specific experts, effectively capturing multi-scale textures while reducing computational redundancy. Furthermore, to prevent the loss of high-frequency details during global abstraction, we introduce a \textbf{Local Spatial Modulation Expert (LSME)} to complement the global modeling, ensuring a precise reconstruction of sharp edges and fine structures. Extensive experiments on standard benchmarks demonstrate that SP-MoMamba achieves superior reconstruction fidelity and a more favorable efficiency-performance trade-off compared to state-of-the-art efficient SR methods.

USP-Mamba: Unmixing-Derived Spectral and Structural Prompting for Hyperspectral Image Super-Resolution

Hyperspectral image super-resolution aims to reconstruct high-resolution imagery while preserving dense spectral information. Recently, Mamba-based models have shown promising potential for this task by capturing long-range dependencies with linear computational complexity. Nevertheless, their causal sequence modeling requires two-dimensional hyperspectral features to be unfolded along predefined scanning orders, which disrupts spatial adjacency and restricts the effective propagation of contextual information. Moreover, state-space parameterization of existing models is predominantly derived from generic learned representations, without explicit alignment with the intrinsic characteristics of the hyperspectral image. To address this issue, we propose an Unmixing-derived Spectral and Structural Prompting Mamba framework, termed USP-Mamba, which adapts Mamba state evolution through composition-aware spectral priors and image-dependent structural prompts. Specifically, an unmixing-informed spectral prompt captures the global material composition of the input image and provides persistent conditioning throughout reconstruction. Injected into the Mamba sequence and progressively adapted across layers, it steers state evolution toward composition-consistent reconstruction. We introduce feature-level structural prompts comprising spatial and frequency components to provide image-dependent local guidance. The spatial prompt promotes structure-sensitive state encoding for local detail preservation, while the frequency prompt enables region-adaptive transitions between homogeneous regions and high-frequency details. Finally, complementary Hilbert and Semantic-Guided Neighboring scans preserve spatial continuity and strengthen non-local semantic dependency modeling. Extensive experiments on different datasets demonstrate that the proposed method consistently outperforms representative approaches.

Keyframe-Centric State-Space Modeling for Burst Image Super-Resolution

Burst image super-resolution (BISR) reconstructs a high-resolution keyframe by aggregating complementary sub-pixel evidence from a short burst of low-resolution frames. Existing methods often process all burst frames with heavy backbones or maintain deep cross-frame interaction throughout the network, leading to redundant computation on non-key frames and limiting scalability with burst length. In this work we propose BurstMamba, a BISR architecture built on a simple principle: allocate most compute to reconstructing the keyframe, and process the burst primarily to extract sub-pixel priors. To this end, BurstMamba decouples BISR into a high-capacity keyframe super-resolution stream and a lightweight burst stream that interacts with it only through stage-wise residual injection. To improve burst-to-keyframe transfer, we introduce Gather -> Aggregate -> Scatter (GAS), which uses correspondence only for cross-frame message passing while preserving native-view features through a residual connection, and a wavelet-conditioned state update that biases selective routing toward high-frequency regions. Across SyntheticSR, RealBSR-RAW, and RealBSR-RGB, BurstMamba achieves state-of-the-art results. Extensive ablations show that the proposed compute separation, GAS, and wavelet-conditioned routing each contribute to the model's accuracy and scaling.
