U engineers develop a novel high-speed, high-def hyperspectral video camera
The compact camera captures both color and fine spectral details in a single snapshot, producing a "spectral fingerprint" for every pixel.
“When we started out on this research, our intention was to demonstrate a compact, fast, megapixel resolution hyperspectral camera, able to record highly compressed spatial-spectral information from scenes at video-rates, which did not exist,” Majumder said. To demonstrate the camera’s capabilities, the researchers tried three real-world applications: telling different types of tissue apart in a surgical scene; predicting the age of strawberries as they decayed over time; and mimicking a series of spectral filters that are used in astronomy. By making hyperspectral imaging cheaper, faster and more compact, the U engineers have opened the door for technologies that could change the way we see the world and uncover details hidden across the spectrum.
