Abstract:
Hyperspectral imaging systems and methods for hyperspectral imaging of scenes in apparent motion are described. Each acquired image includes a spatial map of the scene which facilitates pointing, focusing, and data analysis. The spectral measurement parameters can be configured dynamically in order to optimize performance such as spectral resolution, storage capacity, and transmission bandwidth, without physical or optical reconfiguration of the imaging system, and with no need for moveable mechanical parts. The system achieves high spectral and spatial resolution, is simple, compact, and lightweight, thereby providing an efficient hyperspectral imaging system for aircraft or spaceborne imaging systems.
Abstract:
A method of spectrophotometric analysis is disclosed. There is provided a measuring system including a low-resolution spectrophotometric sensor, a device of mobile communication (such as smartphone or tablet) and software which may be installed partially on that device and partially on a remote computing server or service. The method includes calibration of a measurement channel, oriented on measuring optical spectra or spectrum- related quantities; estimation of the optical spectrum of an arbitrary, analyzed sample, on the basis of the data from the sensor and the results of calibration; and evaluation of a spectrum-related quantity on the basis of the results of estimation. These steps may include involvement of local and/or remote computing resources.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are described for operating an imaging system that includes an intra-oral imaging sensor and an electronic processor. The intra-oral imaging sensor includes a housing, an image sensing component at least partially housed within the housing, and a multi-dimensional sensor at least partially housed within the housing. The electronic processor is configured to receive an output of the multi-dimensional sensor indicative of movement of the intra-oral imaging sensor. The output is compared to predetermined movement criteria indicative of a type of movement and, in response to determining that the type of movement of the imaging sensor has occurred, the electronic processor alters the operation of the imaging system.
Abstract:
In a first invention, a SCAPE system routes light from a tilted intermediate image plane (170) to an infinity space disposed behind a third objective (180). A first dichroic beam splitter (52) positioned in the infinity space routes light from the intermediate image plane with different wavelengths in different directions. First and second light detector arrays (90) capture first and second wavelength images, respectively, and optical components (54,56,58,82) route light having the first and second wavelengths towards the first and second light detectors, respectively. In a second invention, a SCAPE system is used to capture a plurality of images while a sample is perturbed (e.g., vibrated, deformed, pushed, pulled, stretched, or squeezed) in order to visualize the impact of the perturbation on the sample.
