Noniterative Hyperspectral Image Reconstruction From Compressive Fused Measurements
Compressive spectral imaging (CSI) enables the acquisition of spectral and spatial information of a scene using fewer projected measurements than traditional scanning approaches. Recently, research efforts have focused on obtaining high resolution spectral images via expensive detectors and sophisticated CSI devices. Alternatively, high resolution spectral images can be obtained using side information or fusion of compressed measurements, without significantly increasing acquisition costs. Indeed, these approaches retrieve improved resolution images applying iterative and computationally expensive algorithms. This paper proposes the fusion of compressed measurements obtained from two state of the art CSI systems, the single pixel camera (SPC) and the three dimensional coded aperture snapshot imaging system (3D CASSI) such that high resolution images can be obtained by exploiting detailed spectra provided by the SPC and high spatial resolution of the 3D CASSI. Specifically, a noniterative reconstruction algorithm is proposed, based on the fact that the spatial spectral data lie in a low dimensional subspace. In contrast to related works, the proposed approach relies on implementable CSI systems. Simulations and experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method compared to similar approaches, both in reconstruction quality and complexity. Specifically, the proposed method is up to 5.6 times faster than its counterparts and provides comparable quality of attained reconstructions.
