| contents | As most optical satellites remotely acquire multispectral images (MSIs) with limited spatial resolution, multispectral unmixing (MU) becomes a critical signal processing technology for analyzing the pure material spectra for high-precision classification and identification. Unlike the widely investigated hyperspectral unmixing (HU) problem, MU is much more challenging as it corresponds to the underdetermined blind source separation (BSS) problem, where the number of sources is larger than the number of available multispectral bands. In this article, we transform MU into its overdetermined counterpart (i.e., HU) by inventing a radically new quantum deep image prior (QDIP), which relies on the virtual band-splitting task conducted on the observed MSI for generating the virtual hyperspectral image (HSI). Then, we perform HU on the virtual HSI to obtain the virtual hyperspectral sources. Though HU is overdetermined, it still suffers from the ill-posed issue, for which we employ the convex geometry structure of the HSI pixels to customize a weighted simplex shrinkage (WSS) regularizer to mitigate the ill-posedness. Finally, the virtual hyperspectral sources are spectrally downsampled to obtain the desired multispectral sources. The proposed geometry/quantum-empowered MU (GQ-$μ$) algorithm can also effectively obtain the spatial abundance distribution map for each source, where the geometric WSS regularization is adaptively and automatically controlled based on the sparsity pattern of the abundance tensor. Simulation and real-world data experiments demonstrate the practicality of our unsupervised GQ-$μ$ algorithm for the challenging MU task. Ablation study demonstrates the strength of QDIP, not achieved by classical DIP, and validates the mechanics-inspired WSS geometry regularizer. |
