초록

Multispectral (MS) satellite imagery provides rich spectral information for surface and atmospheric interpretation, yet its spatial resolution is often limited by sensor design. In this study, we propose a Transformer-based MS super-resolution framework that uses high-resolution panchromatic (PAN) imagery to supply complementary spatial detail cues for MS reconstruction and explicitly separates spatial enhancement from spectral preservation. In the spatial branch, PAN features are aligned to the MS grid via Pixel-Unshuffle and encoded with shifted-window self-attention to capture long-range spatial dependencies efficiently. In the spectral branch, spectral self-attention treats bands as tokens to learn inter-band correlations and maintain spectral consistency. The two representations are fused through channel concatenation and a 1 & times; 1 convolutional module, followed by a reconstruction head that upsamples the fused features to generate high-resolution MS outputs. For training, low-resolution MS inputs are synthesized from KOMPSAT-3A MS imagery using a degradation pipeline that combines modulation transfer function-based blur, downsampling, and additive Gaussian noise; the operation order is randomly permuted to emulate diverse acquisition conditions. In addition, Bayesian optimization is employed to explore network configurations through jointly considering the normalized mean absolute error and inference time. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed approach attains 46.23 dB PSNR, 0.9735 SSIM, and 3.12 ERGAS with approximately 167.4 K parameters, achieving a high restoration quality and computational efficiency across diverse degradation settings.
