Abstract: A method, a system, and a non-transitory computer readable medium for accurate Raman spectroscopy. The method may include executing at least one iteration of the steps of: (i) performing, by an optical measurement system, a calibration process that comprises (a) finding a misalignment between a region of interest defined by a spatial filter, and an impinging beam of radiation that is emitted from an illuminated area of a sample, the impinging beam impinges on the spatial filter; and (b) determining a compensating path of propagation of the impinging beam that compensates the misalignment; and (ii) performing a measurement process, while the optical measurement system is configured to provide the compensating path of propagation of the impinging beam, to provide one or more Raman spectra.

Abstract: A method and device for restoring and reconstructing a light source spectrum based on a hyperspectral image are provided. A hyperspectral image is processed to obtain a first maximum spectrum. The first maximum spectrum is matched with a light source spectral basis vector set in a light source spectrum dictionary, and a linear decomposition is performed to obtain a dictionary set. The maximum value of each waveband is obtained and iterative approximation is performed. Therefore, it can quickly restore the spectrum of the light source of the shooting environment from a single hyperspectral image using a relatively simple calculation process, and can still achieve a good restoration effect for monochromatic image scenes or image scenes with few colors, even close to the real light source spectrum. After the light source spectrum is obtained, this information can be further utilized for different kinds of applications.
