A Fast Alternating Minimization Algorithm for Coded Aperture Snapshot Spectral Imaging Based on Sparsity and Deep Image Priors
This work addresses reconstruction accuracy for hyperspectral imaging applications, representing an incremental improvement over existing methods.
The paper tackles the ill-posed problem of reconstructing hyperspectral images from limited projection measurements in coded aperture snapshot spectral imaging by proposing a fast alternating minimization algorithm based on sparsity and deep image priors, achieving state-of-the-art results without training data.
Coded aperture snapshot spectral imaging (CASSI) is a technique used to reconstruct three-dimensional hyperspectral images (HSIs) from one or several two-dimensional projection measurements. However, fewer projection measurements or more spectral channels leads to a severly ill-posed problem, in which case regularization methods have to be applied. In order to significantly improve the accuracy of reconstruction, this paper proposes a fast alternating minimization algorithm based on the sparsity and deep image priors (Fama-SDIP) of natural images. By integrating deep image prior (DIP) into the principle of compressive sensing (CS) reconstruction, the proposed algorithm can achieve state-of-the-art results without any training dataset. Extensive experiments show that Fama-SDIP method significantly outperforms prevailing leading methods on simulation and real HSI datasets.
