FUSE-Net: Multi-Scale CNN for NIR Band Prediction from RGB Using GNDVI-Guided Green Channel Enhancement by Gwanghyeong Lee, Deepak Ghimire, Donghoon Kim, Sewoon Cho, Byoungjun Kim, Sunghwan Jeong

“…The experimental results showed that the G-RGB input consistently outperformed unmodified RGB across multiple metrics, including mean squared error (MSE), peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), spectral correlation coefficient (SCC), and structural similarity (SSIM), with the best performance observed when paired with FUSE-Net. While our method does not replace true NIR data, it offers a viable approximation during inference when only RGB images are available, supporting cost-effective analysis in scenarios where HSI systems are inaccessible.…”
