Abstract: An approach to noninvasively and remotely detect the presence, location, and/or quantity of a target substance in a scene via a spectral imaging system comprising a spectral filter array and image capture array. For a chosen target substance, a spectral filter array is provided that is sensitive to selected wavelengths characterizing the electromagnetic spectrum of the target substance. Elements of the image capture array are optically aligned with elements of the spectral filter array to simultaneously capture spectrally filtered images. These filtered images identify the spectrum of the target substance. Program instructions analyze the acquired images to compute information about the target substance throughout the scene. A color-coded output image may be displayed on a smartphone or computing device to indicate spatial and quantitative information about the detected target substance. The system desirably includes a library of interchangeable spectral filter arrays, each sensitive to one or more target substances.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a Raman spectroscopic inspection method, comprising the steps of: measuring a Raman spectrum of an object to be inspected successively to collect a plurality of Raman spectroscopic signals; superposing the plurality of Raman spectroscopic signals to form a superposition signal; filtering out a florescence interfering signal from the superposition signal; and identifying the object to be inspected on basis of the superposition signal from which the florescence interfering signal has been filtered out. By means of the above method, a desired Raman spectroscopic signal may be acquired by removing the interference caused by a florescence signal from a Raman spectroscopic inspection signal of the object. It may inspect correctly the characteristics of the Raman spectrum of the object so as to identify the object effectively.

Abstract: A method and analyser for identifying, verifying or otherwise characterising a sample involves emitting electromagnetic radiation in at least one beam at a sample. The electromagnetic radiation includes at least two different wavelengths. A sample detector detects affected electromagnetic radiation resulting from the emitted electromagnetic radiation affected by the sample and provides output representing the detected affected radiation. A processor determines sample coefficients from the output and identifies, verifies or otherwise characterises the sample using the sample coefficients and training coefficients determined from training samples. The coefficients reduce sensitivity to a sample retainer variation and/or are independent of concentration.
