Multispectral imaging has also found use in document and painting analysis. [3] [4] Multispectral imaging measures light in a small number (typically 3 to 15) of spectral bands. Hyperspectral imaging is a special case of spectral imaging where often hundreds of contiguous spectral bands are available. [5]
Multispectral and hyperspectral differences. Hyperspectral imaging is part of a class of techniques commonly referred to as spectral imaging or spectral analysis. The term “hyperspectral imaging” derives from the development of NASA's Airborne Imaging Spectrometer (AIS) and AVIRIS in the mid-1980s.
In hyperspectral imaging, a complete spectrum or some spectral information (such as the Doppler shift or Zeeman splitting of a spectral line) is collected at every pixel in an image plane. A hyperspectral camera uses special hardware to capture hundreds of wavelength bands for each pixel, which can be interpreted as a complete spectrum.
A figure illustrating the differences between multi-and hyperspectral imaging. A hyperspectral sensor collects spectral data in a continuous spectrum whereas a multispectral sensor collects spectral data in varying bandwidths in the EM spectrum. In modern times, multi-and hyperspectral imaging sensors are mainly
Subcategories of multispectral remote sensing include hyperspectral, in which hundreds of bands are collected and analyzed, and ultraspectral remote sensing where many hundreds of bands are used (Logicon, 1997). The main purpose of multispectral imaging is the potential to classify the image using multispectral classification.
Hyperspectral data is often used to determine what materials are present in a scene. Materials of interest could include roadways, vegetation, and specific targets (i.e. pollutants, hazardous materials, etc.). Trivially, each pixel of a hyperspectral image could be compared to a material database to determine the type of material making up the ...
The technique was designed to put into practice the concept of 'tilted sampling' of the hyperspectral data cube, which had been deemed difficult to achieve. [4] Spatio-spectral scanning yields a series of thin, diagonal slices of the data cube. Figuratively speaking, each acquired image is a 'rainbow-colored' spatial map of the scene. More ...
A spectrometer can also be used for multispectral imaging, along with an array of detectors, one for each spectral channel. Another common addition is a time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) board to process the detector output, which, coupled with a pulsed laser, enables lifetime measurement and is useful in biomedical imaging .
