• Abstract summary: Recent efforts in data-driven spectral reconstruction aim at extracting spectral information from RGB images captured by cost-effective RGB cameras. We evaluate both the practical limitations with respect to current datasets and overfitting, as well as fundamental limitations with respect to the nature of the information encoded in the RGB images. We propose to exploit the combination of metameric data augmentation and optical lens aberrations to improve the encoding of the metameric information into the RGB image.

• Abstract: Hyperspectral imaging empowers machine vision systems with the distinct capability of identifying materials through recording their spectral signatures. Recent efforts in data-driven spectral reconstruction aim at extracting spectral information from RGB images captured by cost-effective RGB cameras, instead of dedicated hardware. In this paper we systematically analyze the performance of such methods, evaluating both the practical limitations with respect to current datasets and overfitting, as well as fundamental limitations with respect to the nature of the information encoded in the RGB images, and the dependency of this information on the optical system of the camera. We find that, the current models are not robust under slight variations, e.g., in noise level or compression of the RGB file. Without modeling underrepresented spectral content, existing datasets and the models trained on them are limited in their ability to cope with challenging metameric colors. To mitigate this issue, we propose to exploit the combination of metameric data augmentation and optical lens aberrations to improve the encoding of the metameric information into the RGB image, which paves the road towards higher performing spectral imaging and reconstruction approaches.

  We propose a joint RGB-Spectral decomposition model guided enhancement. We leverage thearity between RGB and Low-resolution Multi-Spectral Images (Lr-MSI) to predict shading, reflectance, and material semantic priors. These priors are seamlessly integrated into the established HDRNet to promote dynamic range enhancement, color mapping, and grid expert learning.

  spectral reflectance recovery (SRR) from RGB images is challenging and costly. Most existing approaches are trained on synthetic images and utilize the same parameters for all unseen testing images. We propose a self-supervised meta-auxiliary learning (MAXL) strategy that fine-tunes the well-trained network parameters with each testing image to combine external with internal information.
