Abstract
The imaging of a large area scene is difficult to achieve for a single camera. Alternatively, a virtual large aperture can be synthesized by sub-aperture cooperation. We propose a solution through the combination of a coded aperture snapshot spectral imager and coprime array. This method reduces the amount of data by using a smaller sub-aperture for sampling. The position of the sub-aperture is determined according to the element distribution of the coprime array, so that the data obtained from each sampling are about the target object and its adjacent area, which can ensure high reconstruction accuracy. The feasibility of coprime sub-aperture sampling is verified by numerical simulation.
