Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for accelerating hyperspectral video reconstruction are hindered by slow preprocessing speeds due to large data volumes and inefficient spectral calibration data traversal, particularly when capturing high-speed dynamic targets and large-area complex scenes, leading to prolonged reconstruction times and reduced accuracy.

Innovation Solution

The method involves acquiring and sorting a calibration matrix for spectral and RGB videos, converting them into a data matrix in a parallel computing manner, and reconstructing hyperspectral video using related calibration points, optimizing data processing and storage to enhance traversal efficiency and reduce invalid computations.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs spectral calibration data traversal and ordering in advance before the main reconstruction process. The calibration matrix is pre-ordered based on spatial down-sampling constraints, so that during reconstruction, the system only needs to access pre-sorted calibration points rather than performing complex searches, thereby reducing real-time computation time while maintaining preprocessing efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent divides the spectral calibration data into spatially organized segments by ordering the calibration matrix according to spatial down-sampling constraints. This segmentation allows the system to process and traverse calibration data in a structured manner, accessing only relevant calibration points for each spatial region, thus reducing overall computation time without delaying preprocessing

Solution Approach 1:

The patent pre-orders the calibration matrix according to spatial down-sampling constraints before the parallel reconstruction process. This preliminary organization of calibration data ensures that during parallel computation, each thread accesses calibration points in a systematic manner without performing invalid computations, thereby maximizing the efficiency of parallel processing while minimizing wasted computational time

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic calibration point retrieval based on spatial down-sampling requirements. Instead of using a static linear storage structure, the system dynamically orders and selects calibration points according to the spatial constraints of each reconstruction region, allowing parallel computing threads to efficiently access only the relevant calibration data for their specific regions, thus reducing invalid computations
