Filter-Enhanced Smartphone Hyperspectral Imaging

원문 초록

Hyperspectral reconstruction from RGB imagery offers an affordable alternative to costly hyperspectral acquisition devices. However, its accuracy is fundamentally constrained by the limited spectral resolution of standard RGB cameras. In this paper, we propose a new approach that leverages the multi-camera systems integrated into most modern smartphones and enhances their capabilities by modulating their spectral response functions using carefully selected spectral filters, enabling a smartphone to capture richer spectral information. We propose a neural network able to exploit auxiliary RGB images with diverse spectral characteristics, enabling more accurate hyperspectral reconstruction compared to conventional single-image methods. Training is supported by a newly collected dataset, Doomer, which consists of multiple misaligned RGB images alongside corresponding hyperspectral data. We also propose a device-adaptation strategy that conditions the multi-image hyperspectral reconstruction network on camera color correction matrices available in standard DNG metadata, requiring no real images from the target device. We evaluate it on three physical smartphones, two of them unseen during training.
