Euler-inspired Decoupling Neural Operator for Efficient Pansharpening

Pansharpening aims to generate high-resolution multispectral (HRMS) images by fusing low-resolution multispectral (LRMS) and high-resolution panchromatic (PAN) images. Although deep learning has advanced this field, mainstream frequency-based methods relying on standard scaled dot-product attention suffer from quadratic computational complexity and fail to exploit the inherent regional sparsity of remote sensing imagery. Furthermore, existing spatial enhancement strategies typically employ static convolution kernels, which struggle to adapt to the complex frequency and regional variations of PAN and MS images. To address these bottlenecks, we propose a Region-Aware Fusion (RAFNet) Network that synergistically models spatial and frequency information. Specifically, we design a Spatial Adaptive Refinement (SAR) module that leverages the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) for directional frequency separation and K-means clustering for regional partitioning, which enables the dynamic construction of region-specific adaptive convolution kernels, achieving spatially and frequency-adaptive feature enhancement. Moreover, we introduce a Clustered Frequency Aggregation (CFA) module based on a sparse attention mechanism guided by the semantic clusters, which executes a region-aware sparse attention strategy that drastically reduces computational redundancy while ensuring high-quality frequency feature extraction. In addition we integrated these modules into a progressive, multi-level spatial-frequency network architecture to facilitate robust interaction and accurate image reconstruction. Extensive experiments on multiple benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed RAFNet significantly outperforms state-of-the-art pansharpening methods in both reduced- and full-resolution assessments.

Pansharpening aims to generate high-resolution multispectral (HRMS) images by fusing low-resolution multispectral (LRMS) images with high-resolution panchromatic (PAN) images. However, the current mainstream frequency-based pansharpening methods employ fixed frequency filters, which cannot precisely adapt to complex and spatially diversified frequency distributions in PAN and MS images. Furthermore, existing denoising strategies insufficiently exploit frequency components for denoising and struggle to suppress various noise types accurately. To address these challenges, we propose CGFformer, a cluster-guidance frequency Transformer that focuses on varying frequency distribution and interactions between frequency and spatial components. Specifically, we design an adaptive separation module that integrates local features and non-local information through K-means clustering, enabling more precise separation of high- and low-frequency components. Subsequently, we introduce a dual-stream refinement module combined with Transformer-based cross-attention to remove various noise, allowing the network to jointly suppress frequency-relevant and irrelevant disturbances. In addition, we develop a frequency-spatial fusion module designed to enhance detail and facilitate spatial-frequency interaction, ensuring more effective reconstruction of spatial structures in the fused results. Extensive experiments on multiple benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed CGFformer achieves notable improvements over existing pansharpening approaches.

Pansharpening aims to generate high-resolution multispectral (HRMS) images by fusing low-resolution multispectral (LRMS) and panchromatic (PAN) observations. Most existing deep learning methods treat pansharpening as fixed-grid prediction, which limits scale adaptation. To address this, we propose GSPan, a framework that introduces 2D Gaussian Splatting (GS) into pansharpening. Instead of directly predicting pixels, GSPan represents band-wise residual details as continuous and learnable 2D Gaussian primitives. We design a Dual-Stream Hierarchical Interaction (DSHI) architecture with a Spatial-Spectral Interactive Attention (SSIA) module to estimate these primitives from complementary PAN and MS observations. The predicted primitives are rendered as a residual detail field and injected into the upsampled MS image. This continuous representation allows GSPan to render fused images on arbitrary target sampling grids without scale-specific retraining. It further enables a Scale-Decoupled Asymmetric Inference (SDAI) strategy, which estimates primitives at a reduced resolution and renders the fused image at the target resolution for efficient large-scene pansharpening. Experiments on QuickBird, GaoFen-2, WorldView-3, and WorldView-3-4K datasets show that GSPan delivers state-of-the-art fusion performance. Moreover, SDAI markedly accelerates inference, achieving a favorable trade-off between computational efficiency and fusion quality. Our results demonstrate the potential of continuous Gaussian residual representations as a flexible and scale-decoupled alternative to fixed-grid prediction.
