  • This limited data poses a challenge for accurately reconstructing high-dimensional spectral signals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the problem of spectral signal estimation from undersampled data.
  • To introduce and evaluate novel submanifold estimation methods for improved spectral reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Exploration of linear estimation methods, including their theory and geometric properties.
  • Development of two submanifold estimation techniques that leverage systematic deviations from linear estimates.
  • Application and evaluation of the submanifold method on hyperspectral image data.
