I am an undergraduate researcher at Nice Lab, SWUFE, supervised by Dr. Wu Wang. My research centers on efficient, mathematically grounded operators for high-resolution visual reconstruction, with a focus on frequency-domain representation learning, optimization-inspired networks, and representation learning for computer vision and multimodal learning. I study this primarily through remote sensing image fusion (pansharpening), with results that also generalize to broader vision tasks.

Butterworth as Attention: Anisotropic Spectral Gating for Pansharpening
Zhenggang Wang, Wu Wang, Huazhe Liang, Taixiang Jiang  † corresponding author
International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML), 2026
We derive a closed-form equivalence between Butterworth filtering and self-attention, replacing O(N²) Softmax attention with an O(N log N) Sigmoid-gated frequency mask (using log cutoff as Query and filter order as Key). We further extend the isotropic filter to a learnable anisotropic elliptical passband for direction-aware spectral modulation. The resulting method achieves SOTA performance on multiple pansharpening benchmarks and shows strong transferability to broader vision tasks.

Selected Projects

ABFNet: Anisotropic Butterworth Fusion Network 2024 – 2026

Dual-branch frequency-domain pansharpening network. The Global Branch applies a single learnable anisotropic Butterworth filter over the full feature map; the Local Branch uses Butterworth Token Interaction (BTI) for patch-level adaptive texture enhancement. All operations are element-wise on the FFT spectrum for O(N log N) complexity.

OSSNet: Orthogonal Spectral-Spatial Sketch Unfolding for Pansharpening 2026 – Present · Under Review

Formulated pansharpening as low-dimensional orthogonal sketch learning via optimization unfolding, significantly reducing computational overhead. Introduced the Legendre Spectral-Gating Sketch, a learnable orthogonal projection operator that dynamically constructs sketch subspaces from Gram covariance using Legendre polynomial recurrence and Schulz orthogonalization. Designed an Adjoint-Guided Data Consistency Compensation module together with explicit Null-Space Residual Recovery, yielding an interpretable degradation-aware reconstruction pipeline grounded in physical observation models. Achieved SOTA performance on multiple pansharpening benchmarks with substantially lower computational cost than existing unfolding-based methods.
