In order to choose the related sampling ratio in the information-poor and information-rich spectral fragments, this paper attempts to recover the spectral reflectance by compressed sensing technology based on maximum entropy criterion. The maximum entropy threshold method is the criterion that the optimal threshold is determined to segment the information content of spectral curves. The spectral reflectance in each sub-spectral fragment is reconstructed by compressed sensing. The wavelet orthogonal matrix performs a sparse representation of each segmented spectral curve. Undersampling spectral curve be collected by random gaussian measurement matrix. The orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm recovers sparse original signals from undersampling observed signals. In this paper, the four standard color blocks of Munsell and the spectral curves of five types of ground objects in the hyperspectral data set are used as the exper-imental objects. The reconstructed results are evaluated by spectral curve reconstruction, root mean square error and information entropy difference. The experimental results show that our approach improves the reconstruction accuracy of spectral reflectance effectively, compared with the traditional method.
