By the success of compressive sensing (CS), coded aperture snapshot spectral imager (CASSI) computationally
obtains 3D spectral images from 2D compressive measurement. In CASSI, each pixel of the detector captures
spectral information only from one voxel in each band with binary weights (i.e., 0 or 1), which limits the variety
of superposition relationship among the 3D voxels in the underlying scene. Moreover, the correspondence of each
pixel of detector to each pixel of coded aperture cannot be readily achieved in the presence of dispersive prism,
due to the small pixel sizes of these elements (often in micrometer). In this paper, we propose a flexible design to
improve the performance of CASSI with currently employed optical elements in CASSI. Specifically, the proposed
design integrates a kind of flexible alignment relationship along the coded aperture, the dispersive prism and
the detector. Each measurement of the detector is manifested as the summation of several voxels in each band
with random decimal weights and different measurements corresponds to overlapped voxels, which provides more
sufficient superposition relationship of the scene information. This flexible design favors the sensing mechanism
better satisfy the requirement of CS theory. Furthermore, the proposed design greatly reduces the alignment
complexity and burden of system construction. Preliminary result achieves improved image quality, including
higher PSNR and better perceptual effect, compared to the traditional design.
