DMDC: Dynamic-mask-based dual camera design for snapshot Hyperspectral Imaging
Deep learning methods are developing rapidly in coded aperture snapshot spectral imaging (CASSI). The number of parameters and FLOPs of existing state-of-the-art methods (SOTA) continues to increase, but the reconstruction accuracy improves slowly. Current methods still face two problems: 1) The performance of the spatial light modulator (SLM) is not fully developed due to the limitation of fixed Mask coding. 2) The single input limits the network performance. In this paper we present a dynamic-mask-based dual camera system, which consists of an RGB camera and a CASSI system running in parallel. First, the system learns the spatial feature distribution of the scene based on the RGB images, then instructs the SLM to encode each scene, and finally sends both RGB and CASSI images to the network for reconstruction. We further designed the DMDC-net, which consists of two separate networks, a small-scale CNN-based dynamic mask network for dynamic adjustment of the mask and a multimodal reconstruction network for reconstruction using RGB and CASSI measurements. Extensive experiments on multiple datasets show that our method achieves more than 9 dB improvement in PSNR over the SOTA. (https://github.com/caizeyu1992/DMDC)
