Multispectral imaging is traditionally performed using a combination of an imaging device with a filter bank such as a filter wheel or a form of tunable filter, or a combination of many imaging devices with various spectral beam splitting optics. The complexity and size of these devices seem to be the limiting factor of their adoption and use in various fields that could potentially benefit from this imaging modality. With the advent of nanophotonics, there has been a surge in single camera, snapshot, multispectral imaging exploiting the capabilities of nanotechnology to devise pixel-based spectral filters. This new form of sensing, which can be classified as compressive sensing, has its limitations. The work presented here will describe an optical design that would enable a single-camera, simultaneous multispectral imaging via multiview computational compressive sensing.

This book presents how metasurfaces are exploited to develop new low-cost single sensor based multispectral cameras. Multispectral cameras extend the concept of conventional colour cameras to capture images with multiple color bands and with narrow spectral passbands. Images from a multispectral camera can extract significant amount of additional information that the human eye or a normal camera fails to capture and thus have important applications in precision agriculture, forestry, medicine, object identifications, and classifications. Conventional multispectral cameras are made up of multiple image sensors each externally fitted with a narrow passband wavelength filters, optics and multiple electronics. The need for multiple sensors for each band results in a number of problems such as being bulky, power hungry and suffering from image co-registration problems which in turn limits their wide usage. The above problems can be eliminated if a multispectral camera is developed using one single image sensor.​

Inopticalsolutions Notebooks are concise technical books that offer Ronian Siew's insights into specific topics in optics and optical systems. Wide-angle lenses possess a characteristic that off-axis ray bundles tend to "de-cluster" in front of the first element of the lens system, which enables an array of bandpass filters to be mounted there. This allows subareas across a wide field to be imaged through different spectral bands simultaneously, and through a shared aperture (i.e., the system's aperture stop). Ronian calls this "Multiple-Field Multispectral" (MFMS) imaging. One of the advantages of this approach to spectral imaging is that there is minimal spectral shift of the bandpass through each filter, as the central ray within ray bundles from each field is at normal incidence to the filter. This also results in minimal astigmatism introduced by the filter. This book discusses the optical design of MFMS imaging systems and suggests practical applications.

Techniques and Applications of Hyperspectral Image Analysis gives an introduction to the field of image analysis using hyperspectral techniques, and includes definitions and instrument descriptions. Other imaging topics that are covered are segmentation, regression and classification. The book discusses how high quality images of large data files can be structured and archived. Imaging techniques also demand accurate calibration, and are covered in sections about multivariate calibration techniques. The book explains the most important instruments for hyperspectral imaging in more technical detail. A number of applications from medical and chemical imaging are presented and there is an emphasis on data analysis including modeling, data visualization, model testing and statistical interpretation.

This book provides insight into an unconventional modality of imaging where several spectral images are captured by a single snapshot under multi-laser illumination, ensuring high-speed imaging within extremely narrow spectral bands. This method has three distinct advantages, if compared to common commercial multispectral imaging systems - considerably improved spectral selectivity (or colour sensitivity) of imaging, avoided motion artefacts in the spectral image sets, and simpler/faster image processing as integrals over the spectral bands of imaging are replaced by numbers of the fixed working wavelengths. The basic principles and progress in this field are reviewed, focusing on applications for human skin diagnostics and printed forgery detection. The designs of ten different lab-developed prototypes that implement this method are described, along with results of their laboratory, clinical and/or forensic tests. This research leads to the development of new equipment and protocols for better skin diagnostics and the advanced detection of money, document, and artwork forgeries. Chapter 1 explains the basics of spectral imaging, including the main principles of multispectral and hyperspectral imaging. Chapter 2 introduces the snapshot multi-spectral-line imaging (SMSLI) method, focusing on lasers as multi-wavelength illumination sources. Chapter 3 describes multi-laser illumination designs while Chapter 4 presents main specifications of the lab-assembled prototype devices implementing such designs. Results of the test measurements confirming applicability of the developed solutions for analysis/mapping of colour pigments in clinical diagnostics and forgery detection are discussed in Chapters 5 and 6, respectively. This will be a valuable reference for laser and imaging professionals, photonics researchers and engineers, clinicians (dermatologists, plastic surgeons, oncologists), forensic experts, and students of physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, and engineering. Key Features: · Reviews techniques and applications of narrowband spectral imaging using multi-laser illumination. · Presents ten different prototypes for implementing the multi-spectral-line imaging method. · Discusses applications of spectral line imaging for human skin diagnostics and forgery detection.
