• Abstract: The rapid growth of hyperspectral data archives in remote sensing (RS) necessitates effective compression methods for storage and transmission. Recent advances in learning-based hyperspectral image (HSI) compression have significantly enhanced both reconstruction fidelity and compression efficiency. However, existing methods typically adapt variational image compression models designed for natural images, without adequately accounting for the distinct spatio-spectral redundancies inherent in HSIs. In particular, they lack explicit architectural designs to balance spatial and spectral feature learning, limiting their ability to effectively leverage the unique characteristics of hyperspectral data. To address this issue, we introduce spatio-spectral variational hyperspectral image compression architecture (HyVIC). The proposed model comprises four main components: 1) adjustable spatio-spectral encoder; 2) spatio-spectral hyperencoder; 3) spatio-spectral hyperdecoder; and 4) adjustable spatio-spectral decoder. We demonstrate that the trade-off between spatial and spectral feature learning is crucial for the reconstruction fidelity, and therefore present a metric-driven strategy to systematically select the hyperparameters of the proposed model. Extensive experiments on two benchmark datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model, achieving high spatial and spectral reconstruction fidelity across a wide range of compression ratios (CRs) and improving the state of the art by up to 4.66dB in terms of BD-PSNR. Based on our results, we offer insights and derive practical guidelines to guide future research directions in learning-based variational HSI compression. Our code and pre-trained model weights are publicly available at https://git.tu-berlin.de/rsim/hyvic .
