Abstract:
An imaging device is presented for use in an imaging system capable of improving the image quality. The imaging device has one or more optical systems defining an effective aperture of the imaging device. The imaging device comprises a lens system having an algebraic representation matrix of a diagonalized form defining a first Condition Number, and a phase encoder utility adapted to effect a second Condition Number of an algebraic representation matrix of the imaging device, smaller than said first Condition Number of the lens system.

Abstract:
An imaging system and method are presents for use in reconstructing spectral data of an object. The imaging system comprises: an optical unit; a pixel array of a detector; and a data processor for receiving and processing image data indicative of light detected by the pixel array and generating reconstructed spectral data of the object being imaged. The optical unit is configured and operable for applying a predetermined coding to an input light field while creating an optical image thereof on a detection plane defined by the pixel array. Therefore, the image data is a function of the predetermined coding and a spectrum of the object to be determined.
