View-Aligned Nonlocal Low-Rank Tensor Reconstruction for Snapshot Compressive Multi-View Spectral Imaging System.

Snapshot compressive multi-view spectral imaging (SC-MVSI) multiplexes view-spectral information into a single coded measurement, enabling compact acquisition with a two-dimensional detector. Because each reconstructed channel corresponds to both a selected spectral response and a view direction, direct cross-channel modeling at identical pixel coordinates can introduce structural mismatch caused by view-dependent displacement. This paper proposes a reference-guided view-aligned nonlocal low-rank tensor reconstruction method for SC-MVSI. The reconstruction is formulated as a coded inverse problem and solved using the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) in a variable-splitting framework. In the prior update, a reference tensor guides block-level patch alignment before nonlocal tensor grouping, and the resulting fourth-order tensor groups are regularized by canonical polyadic (CP) low-rank approximation. Experiments on eight synthesized multispectral light-field scenes show that the proposed method achieves the highest average PSNR of 33.61 dB and the lowest average CAE of 5.69 degrees among the compared baselines, while obtaining the second-highest average SSIM of 0.8823. Real-system experiments further provide a qualitative demonstration of applying the proposed reconstruction framework to captured coded measurements.
