Flow-Matching Guided Deep Unfolding for Hyperspectral Image Reconstruction

Recent Deep Unfolding Networks (DUNs) have significantly advanced Compressive Sensing (CS) by integrating iterative optimization with deep networks. However, existing DUNs still suffer from two challenges: 1) Reliance on a single measurement stream, which limits effective information interaction across distinct measurement subsets. 2) Uniform processing of all image regions, which overlooks varying reconstruction difficulties induced by diverse textures. To address these limitations, a novel Dual-Path Hyperprior Informed Deep Unfolding Network (DPH-DUN) is proposed, which partitions measurements into double subsets to enable hyperprior-guided reconstruction via a dual-path architecture. In the Deep Hyperprior Learning branch, a series of lightweight neural modules are designed to efficiently generate hyperprior knowledge of different domains, enabling collaborative guidance for the CS reconstruction. In the Hyperprior Informed Reconstruction branch, a deep unfolding framework with hyperprior guidance is constructed to iteratively refine reconstruction. Specifically, i) in the gradient descent step, a Hyperprior Informed Step Size Generation network is designed to dynamically generate spatially varying step maps, enabling adaptive fine-grained gradient updates. ii) In the proximal mapping step, two well-designed hyperprior informed attention mechanisms are introduced to dynamically focus on challenging regions via gradient-based hard and soft attentions, facilitating CS reconstruction accuracy. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed DPH-DUN outperforms existing CS methods.

Recent deep unfolding networks (DUNs) have advanced Compressive Sensing (CS) by effectively integrating iterative optimization with deep learning architectures. However, most CS approaches predominantly confine their inference to a single solution space, neglecting the inherent ill-posedness of CS problems that intrinsically permits multiple plausible candidate hypotheses. In this paper, a novel Multi-Hypothesis Collaborative Deep Unfolding CS Network (MHC-DUN) is proposed, which explicitly models and leverages multiple hypotheses by jointly optimizing across diverse solution spaces. Specifically, following the Proximal Gradient Descent algorithm, MHC-DUN jointly performs gradient descent and proximal mapping within this multi-hypothesis paradigm. i) For gradient descent, a well-designed AlphaNet is introduced to dynamically predict spatially varying step sizes for all hypotheses, enabling collaborative gradient updates across multiple solutions. ii) For proximal operator, a sophisticated multi-hypothesis collaborative proximal mapping module is designed, which leverages both intra-hypothesis and inter-hypothesis correlation priors to jointly refine multiple solutions. To enable end-to-end training, a novel composite loss function is designed, which balances measurement fidelity, hypothesis diversity, and reconstruction accuracy, encouraging exploration of complementary solutions while maintaining reconstruction fidelity. Experimental results reveal that the proposed CS method outperforms existing CS networks.

We consider the problem of reconstructing a HxWx31 hyperspectral image from a $H\times W$ grayscale snapshot measurement that is captured using only a single diffractive lens and a filterless panchromatic photosensor. This problem is severely ill-posed, but we present a model that produces high-quality results in simulation and experiment. We make efficient use of limited training data by creating a conditional denoising diffusion model that operates on small patches in a shift-invariant manner. During inference, we synchronize per-patch hyperspectral predictions using guidance by physical consistency with the system's optical point spread function. Our experiments reveal that the patch size can be as small as the point spread function, with local optical cues being the main source of information about complete spectra. Also, by drawing multiple samples, our model provides per-pixel uncertainty estimates that strongly correlate with reconstruction error.
