A spectrum-recovery method is presented which efficiently computes an optimal unbiased linear spectrum-estimate for measurements obtained with Hadamard transform (HT) spectrometers having nonideal masks. This method has the following advantages over other spectrum-recovery techniques: it is computationally efficient, it requires no additional measurements, and it computes an optimal spectrum-estimate. In the method presented, after the mask of the HT spectrometer has been characterized, approximately 3 N preliminary arithmetic operations are performed once for a given spectrometer, where N is both the number of spectral resolution-elements desired and the number of measurements required. Each spectrum-estimate to be recovered then requires only an additional O[ N(log2 N + 4)] arithmetic operations. In contrast, conventional methods for obtaining an optimal unbiased linear spectrum-estimate require O( N3) preliminary operations, and O(2 N2) operations during each spectrum-recovery.

A computationally inexpensive method is presented for the recovery of spectra from measurements obtained with Hadamard transform spectrometers having nonideal masks. Normally, N measurements are required in order to recover an N-point spectrum; this method requires N + N0 measurements to be taken, where, typically, N0 ≤ 10. Once the additional measurements have been taken, only O( N[log2 N + 2]) arithmetic operations—mostly additions or subtractions—are needed in order to recover the spectrum; a conventional procedure requires O(2 N2) operations. Preliminary work for this method is minimal, requiring O( N) operations as opposed to O( N3) for a conventional procedure; this work needs to be done only once for a given spectrometer. The spectrum-estimate obtained is unbiased.

The spectrum-recovery step in Hadamard transform spectroscopy is commonly implemented with a fast Hadamard transform (FHT). When the Hadamard or simplex matrix corresponding to the mask does not have the same ordering as the Hadamard matrix corresponding to the FHT, a modification is required. When the two Hadamard matrices are in the same equivalence class, this modification can be implemented as a permutation scheme. This paper investigates permutation schemes for this application. The investigation clarifies inaccurate claims about the applicability of existing methods; reveals a new, more efficient method; and leads to an extension that allows a permutation scheme to be applied to any Hadamard or simplex matrix in the appropriate equivalence class.
