System and method for multispectral and hyperspectral imaging
Inventors: Hamid Muhammed, H.; Bergholm, F.
Abstract: The invention is a system for acquiring instantaneous multi- or hyper-spectral 2D-images, exploiting multiple color mosaic filters, where at least one color mosaic filter is positioned externally to the image sensor, in converged light in the optical path, for instance positioned in a lens accessory part of the imaging system. Such color mosaics may be produced cost efficiently by available color printing techniques, and need not be narrow band. Given the registered color band images, the system comprises a method, a calculation unit, where spectral information is transformed into approximate spectra.
