Spectrum from Defocus: Fast Spectral Imaging with Chromatic Focal Stack
Hyperspectral cameras face harsh trade-offs between spatial, spectral, and temporal resolution in an inherently low-photon regime. Computational imaging systems break through these trade-offs with compressive sensing, but require complex optics and/or extensive compute. We present Spectrum from Defocus (SfD), a chromatic focal sweep method that recovers state-of-the-art hyperspectral images with a small system of off-the-shelf optics and < 1 second of compute. Our camera uses two lenses and a grayscale sensor to preserve nearly all incident light in a chromatically-aberrated focal stack. Our physics-based iterative algorithm efficiently demixes, deconvolves, and denoises the blurry grayscale focal stack into a sharp spectral image. The combination of photon efficiency, optical simplicity, and physical modeling makes SfD a promising solution for fast, compact, interpretable hyperspectral imaging.
