Multispectral imaging

Summary

Multispectral imaging captures image data within specific wavelength ranges across the electromagnetic spectrum. The wavelengths may be separated by filters or detected with the use of instruments that are sensitive to particular wavelengths, including light from frequencies beyond the visible light range, i.e. infrared and ultra-violet. It can allow extraction of additional information the human eye fails to capture with its visible receptors for red, green and blue. It was originally developed for military target identification and reconnaissance. Early space-based imaging platforms incorporated multispectral imaging technology to map details of the Earth related to coastal boundaries, vegetation, and landforms. Multispectral imaging has also found use in document and painting analysis. Multispectral imaging measures light in a small number (typically 3 to 15) of spectral bands. Hyperspectral imaging is a special case of spectral imagin

Multispectral imaging

EPFL1997

Spectral imaging is a fundamental diagnostic technique with widespread application. Conventional spectral imaging approaches have intrinsic limitations on spatial and spectral resolutions due to the physical components they rely on. To overcome these physical limitations, in this paper, we develop a novel multi-spectral imaging modality that enables higher spatial and spectral resolutions. In the developed computational imaging modality, we exploit a diffractive lens, such as a photon sieve, for both dispersing and focusing the optical field, and achieve measurement diversity by changing the focusing behavior of this lens. Because the focal length of a diffractive lens is wavelength-dependent, each measurement is a superposition of differently blurred spectral components. To reconstruct the individual spectral images from these superimposed and blurred measurements, model-based fast reconstruction algorithms are developed with deep and analytical priors using alternating minimization and unrolling. Finally, the effectiveness and performance of the developed technique is illustrated for an application in astrophysical imaging under various observation scenarios in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) regime. The results demonstrate that the technique provides not only diffraction-limited high spatial resolution, as enabled by diffractive lenses, but also the capability of resolving close-by spectral sources that would not otherwise be possible with the existing techniques. This work enables high resolution multi-spectral imaging with low cost designs for a variety of applications and spectral regimes.

Demultiplexing Visible and Near-Infrared Information in Single- Sensor Multispectral Imaging

Zahra Sadeghipoor Kermani, Sabine Süsstrunk, Jean-Baptiste Thomas

In this paper, we study a single-sensor imaging system that uses a multispectral filter array to spectrally sample the scene. Our system captures information in both visible and near-infrared bands of the electromagnetic spectrum. Due to manufacturing limitations, the visible filters in this system also transmit the NIR radiation. Similarly, visible light is transmitted by the NIR filter, leading to inaccurate mixed spectral measurements. We present an algorithm that resolves this issue by separating NIR and visible information. Our method achieves this goal by exploiting the correlation of multispectral images in both spatial and spectral domains. Simulation results show that the mean square error of the data corrected by our method is less than 1/20 of the error in sensor spectral measurements.
