Abstract:
In some embodiments, a sensing device, and in particular, a modular spectral imaging device is described. The sensing device compiles one or more spectral images of an object in a point-by-point scan. The sensing device and related methods for scanning stationary objects provides spectral and spatial discrimination. Unlike conventional line scan or snapshot style devices, this system includes a sensor configured to function as a single pixel photodetector to sample a single point of a sample object. Spectral discrimination refers to isolating specific wavelengths of light within a spectral sensitivity range of a detector. Spatial discrimination refers to imaging an object within multidimensional space. The sensing device allows for configurability of both spectral bands and spatial resolution across a wide range of spectral sensitivities. Temporal scanning techniques are used to build up a multi-dimensional image. Modularity and automation are used to provide a broad range of capabilities.
