We propose a snapshot spectral imaging method that enables direct reconstruction of spatial maps for spectral signatures of given materials using a monochromatic image sensor. An image-plane array of dispersive shapers converts an aerial image of an object into a tailored mixture of spectral and spatial data that is sensed and digitally processed to reconstruct weight coefficients of the spectral signatures. The feasibility of the method is proven by computer simulations.
