TL;DR
This work addresses fast, high-quality SWIR hyperspectral reconstruction using a compact snapshot imaging system. It introduces a metasurface-filter coding approach with a correlation-minimizing nine-unit array and an ERRA deep unfolding network that performs inter- and intra-prior learning without sacrificing detail via adaptive feature transfer. The framework integrates a cross-stage low-rank prior learning and a three-level proximal-mapping network to enable robust spectral reconstruction across stages. On AVIRIS-NG data, the method achieves state-of-the-art PSNR and SSIM, demonstrating the potential for real-time, mobile-ready SWIR HSI with a small hardware footprint.
Abstract
Shortwave-infrared(SWIR) spectral information, ranging from 1 μm to 2.5μm, overcomes the limitations of traditional color cameras in acquiring scene information. However, conventional SWIR hyperspectral imaging systems face challenges due to their bulky setups and low acquisition speeds. This work introduces a snapshot SWIR hyperspectral imaging system based on a metasurface filter and a corresponding filter selection method to achieve the lowest correlation coefficient among these filters. This system offers the advantages of compact size and snapshot imaging. We propose a novel inter and intra prior learning unfolding framework to achieve high-quality SWIR hyperspectral image reconstruction, which bridges the gap between prior learning and cross-stage information interaction. Additionally, We design an adaptive feature transfer mechanism to adaptively transfer the contextual correlation of multi-scale encoder features to prevent detailed information loss in the decoder. Experiment results demonstrate that our method can reconstruct hyperspectral images with high speed and superior performance over existing methods.
