Mamba and cross-channel aggregation for efficient multispectral image compression
摘要
In multispectral image compression, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) effectively capture local features but are limited in modeling global context. Transformer architectures address this limitation by leveraging self-attention to model global dependencies, while the Mamba architecture–built upon state space model (SSM)–further enhances long-range sequence modeling. However, existing methods fail to effectively integrate the strengths of these approaches. To overcome this, we propose MSC-NET, a unified fusion network that combines Mamba-based sequence modeling with cross-channel aggregation Transformers. MSC-NET incorporates a Spectral Redundancy Elimination Attention (SREA) module to reduce spectral redundancy and an RMamba block to enhance global contextual representation. Additionally, a Cross-Channel Aggregation (CCA) module integrates the outputs of SREA and RMamba, improving the fusion of local features and inter-channel dependencies. Experimental results show that MSC-NET achieves superior rate-distortion performance, effectively balancing compression ratio and image quality, thereby validating the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
