Abstract: Embodiments pertain to a method and apparatus for imaging discrete bands of the spectrum of a target and calculating the true absorption/reflectance of the target with reference to a static ambient light sensor for each of the bands of the spectrum implemented in the device. In specific embodiments, an array of cameras, each with a separate band pass filter, is used to acquire images simultaneously. Embodiments can allow an operator of a multi-spectral or hyperspectral camera array to create accurate radiometric images of crops, minerals, or other subjects of interest, so that the chemical composition, surface condition, and/or other characteristics can be accurately analyzed. An embodiment can use matched area sensors to separately collect images of the target and a calibration image via a bundle of optical fibers with remotely located, matching, band pass filters.
