Image Spectrometer Captures and Calibrates Record Amounts of Data Rapidly

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
HOUSTON, May 21, 2019 — Researchers at Rice University have developed a compact, fiber-based image spectrometer for remote sensing. Called the Tunable Light-Guide Image Processing Snapshot Spectrometer (TuLIPSS), the device combines high spatial resolution with large amounts of spectral information and can deliver data to a detector instantly. At only 600 × 150 × 150 mm, it is almost small enough for use aboard unmanned aerial vehicles. According to the researchers, it could be made even smaller. Bundles of optic fibers in Rice University’s TuLIPSS spectrometer deliver spatial and spectral...Read full article

    hyperspectral imaging
    Hyperspectral imaging is an advanced imaging technique that captures and processes information from across the electromagnetic spectrum. Unlike traditional imaging systems that record only a few spectral bands (such as red, green, and blue in visible light), hyperspectral imaging collects data in numerous contiguous bands, covering a wide range of wavelengths. This extended spectral coverage enables detailed analysis and characterization of materials based on their spectral signatures. Key...
