Matlab code and results

All the MATLAB code to generate a three dimensional spectral datacube (see the figure below) from the two dimensional array of CASSI measurements is located in the following zip file. The file 'README.txt' describes the contents of the zip file. Please contact Ashwin Wagadarikar if you encounter any problems running the code.
