Compact Snapshot Spectral Imaging with Calibration-Free Aperture Diffraction

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 29, 2026 · UTC

Snapshot Spectral Imaging (SSI) provides high-dimensional temporal-spatial-spectral observation to uncover intrinsic physical characteristics. However, its complex system and repetitive calibration requirements hinder edge applications. Here, we propose a compact, cost-effective, calibration-free SSI method, Aperture Diffraction Imaging Spectrometer (ADIS), which consists only of a diffractive lens with a binary mask and a Bayer-filtered sensor, requiring no additional physical footprint compared to standard RGB cameras. ADIS disperses and multiplexes wavelengths, mapping energy to distinct se
