Distributed Compressed Sensing of Hyperspectral Images According to Spectral Library Matching

The ever-increasing resolution puts tremendous pressure to the onboard hyperspectral imaging system. Compressed sensing technology is one of the important ways to solve this problem. Distributed compressed sensing was proposed to exploit both intra- and inter-correlation structures of hyperspectral images. However, the implementation method of distributed compressed sampling has not been reported, and the joint sparsity reconstruction algorithm cannot achieve excellent image reconstruction performance. In this paper, a distributed compressed sampling strategy inspired by distributed compressed video sensing and optical implementation model are proposed to collect compressed hyperspectral data. In the image reconstruction process, we discard the direct application of the joint sparsity constraint on the data itself. Instead, we explore the estimation method of abundance and endmember with the help of the existing spectral library. Then, the images are recovered by applying the linear mixing model of hyperspectral. The comparison experiments of various schemes show that the proposed compressed sensing scheme has an obvious advantage in reconstruction performance under the low sampling rate. The proposed compressed sensing scheme has great potential in a high-compression ratio onboard hyperspectral imaging system.
