However, the reconstruction accuracy of the hyperspectral image is not high and among other issues the model for generating these images takes up too much storage space. In this study, we propose the double ghost convolution attention mechanism network (DGCAMN) framework for the reconstruction of a single RGB image to improve the accuracy of spectral reconstruction and reduce the storage occupied by the model. The proposed DGCAMN consists of a double ghost residual attention block (DGRAB) module and optimal nonlocal block (ONB). DGRAB module uses GhostNet and PRELU activation functions to reduce the calculation parameters of the data and reduce the storage size of the generative model. At the same time, the proposed double output feature Convolutional Block Attention Module (DOFCBAM) is used to capture the texture details on the feature map to maximize the content of the reconstructed hyperspectral image. In the proposed ONB, the Argmax activation function is used to obtain the region with the most abundant feature information and maximize the most useful feature parameters. This helps to improve the accuracy of spectral reconstruction. These contributions enable the DGCAMN framework to achieve the highest spectral accuracy with minimal storage consumption. The proposed method has been applied to the NTIRE 2020 dataset. Experimental results show that the proposed DGCAMN method outperforms the spectral accuracy reconstructed by advanced deep learning methods and greatly reduces storage consumption.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21020666","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,20]],"date-time":"2021-01-20T03:34:25Z","timestamp":1611113665000},"page":"666","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Double Ghost Convolution Attention Mechanism Network: A Framework for Hyperspectral Reconstruction of a Single RGB Image"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8549-4710","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wenju","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Communication and Art Design, University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, Shanghai 200093, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6631-2742","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jiangwei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Communication and Art Design, University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, Shanghai 200093, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Hernandez-Ortega, J., Galbally, J., Fierrez, J., Rudolf, H., and Laurent, B.
