Abstract:
A hyperspectral imaging system and a method are described herein for providing a hyperspectral image of an area of a remote object (e.g., scene of interest). In one aspect, the hyperspectral imaging system includes at least one optic, a rotatable disk (which has at least one spiral slit formed therein), a spectrometer, a two-dimensional image sensor, and a controller. In another aspect, the hyperspectral imaging system includes at least one optic, a rotatable disk (which has multiple straight slits formed therein), a spectrometer, a two-dimensional image sensor, and a controller. In yet another aspect, the hyperspectral imaging system includes at least one optic, a rotatable drum (which has a plurality of slits formed on the outer surface thereof and a fold mirror located therein), a spectrometer, a two-dimensional image sensor, and a controller.
Abstract:
A control apparatus includes a slit plate including a plurality of rectangular slits with different widths. The control apparatus also includes an acquisition unit which acquires an incident spectrum from the rectangular slit. The apparatus also includes a slit selecting unit which acquires a half value wavelength of the incident spectrum on the basis of the incident spectrum, and performs a selection of one of the plurality of rectangular slits on the basis of the half value wavelength.
Abstract:
A hyperspectral imaging system and a method are described herein for providing a hyperspectral image of an area of a remote object. In one aspect, the hyperspectral imaging system includes a fore optic with optics for acquiring and projecting an image from a remote object, a scannable slit mechanism with a plurality of slits for receiving the projected image, where the projected image simultaneously illuminates two or more of the plurality of slits, a spectrometer for receiving and dispersing images passing through the two or more simultaneously-illuminated slits, and a two-dimensional image sensor for recording images received from the spectrometer, where the images received from different slits are recorded on different sets of detection elements of the two-dimensional image sensor.
Abstract:
A spectrofluorophotometer enabling spectrum correcting treatment to be done highly accurately, including an intercepter the incident light in a fluorescence detecting system, and an interceptor intercepting the incident light in a monitoring detecting system, so as to carry out zero point correction for both of these detecting systems.
Abstract:
A chopperless spectroanalytical system of the double beam type in which radiation from a common source is split into reference and analysis beams. The two beams are directed along similar paths such that the analysis beam passes through an analysis region and the reference beam bypasses that analysis region. A monochromator has two spaced aperture regions such that one aperture region provides an entrance aperture for the analysis beam and an exit aperture for a dispersed portion of the reference beam; and the other aperture region provides an entrance aperture for the reference beam and an exit aperture for a dispersed portion of the analysis beam. The beams exiting from the two exit apertures are simultaneously monitored and compared to compensate for errors due to source fluctuations and the like.
