Abstract

Due to the difficulty of obtaining Mean Opinion Scores (MOS) for hyperspectral image (HSI) , Current no-reference hyperspectral image quality assessment (NR-HSIQA) methods often rely on natural scene statistics to avoid dependence on MOS labels, which makes it difficult to capture the complex spatial-spectral distortion relationships inhyperspectral images. To address these issues, this study proposed a weakly supervised NR-HSIQA model based on a spatial-spectral bidirectional modulation Transformer. The model integrated multiple full-reference metrics to genera-te pseudo-quality scores and constructed a weakly supervised framework that avoided the need for MOS labels and enabled large-scale training. It designed a dual-branch Transformer architecture to achieve deep fusion of spectral an-d spatial features through cross-dimensional statistical modulation. It introduced a combined ranking-regression optim-ization strategy to enhance quality discrimination and cross-domain generalization. Experiments on two public dataset-s demonstrate that the proposed method requires no MOS labels and achieves higher consistency with various full-r-eference metrics compared to existing approaches.
