Spatial/Spectral-Frequency Adaptive Network for Hyperspectral Image Reconstruction in CASSI

Coded-Aperture Snapshot Spectral Imaging (CASSI) systems acquire 3D spatial–spectral information on dynamic targets by converting 3D hyperspectral images (HSIs) into 2D compressed measurements. Various end-to-end networks have been proposed for HSI reconstruction from these measurements. However, these methods have not explored the frequency-domain information of HSIs. This research presents the spatial/spectral-frequency adaptive network (SSFAN) for CASSI image reconstruction. A frequency-division transformation (FDT) decomposes HSIs into distinct Fourier frequency components, enabling multiscale feature extraction in the frequency domain. The proposed dual-branch architecture consists of a spatial–spectral module (SSM) to preserve spatial–spectral consistency and a frequency division module (FDM) to model inter-frequency dependencies. Channel compression/expansion modules are integrated into the FDM to balance computational efficiency and reconstruction quality. Frequency-division loss supervises feature learning across divided frequency channels. Ablation experiments validate the contributions of each network module. Furthermore, comparison experiments on synthetic and real CASSI datasets demonstrate that SSFAN outperforms state-of-the-art end-to-end methods in reconstruction performance.
