Abstract: A method for capturing hyperspectral images using a regular color camera. In the method, the camera takes multiple images of a scene, with the camera oriented differently for each image. For a camera carried by an aircraft or spacecraft, this allows hyperspectral imaging without the cost or weight of a hyperspectral camera.

Abstract: An image capturing device (202) can include a sensor array (210), a lens (230) positioned at a first distance from an intermediate image (235), and apolychromat (220) positioned at a second distance from the lens (230). The polychromat (220) can diffract the intermediate image (235) according to a transform function (207) to produce a dispersed sensor image (215) onto the sensor array (210). The dispersed sensor image (215) can represent a spatial code of the intermediate image (235).

Abstract: In a color imaging system, multiple rendering devices are provided at different nodes along a network. Each rendering device has a color measurement instrument for calibrating the color presented by the rendering device. A rendering device may be a printer in which the measuring of color samples on a sheet rendered by the printer is provided by a sensor coupled to a transport mechanism which moves the sensor and sheet relative to each other, where the sensor provides light from the samples to a spectrograph. A rendering device may also be a display having a member supporting a color measuring instrument for receiving light from an area of the screen. The color measuring instruments provide for non-contact measurements of color samples rendered on a display or a sheet, and are self-calibrating by the use of calibration references.

Abstract: The invention relates to a spectrophotometer, especially a spectrophotometer that can carry out simultaneous analysis at different points on the same sample (4), with a high spatial resolution and without requiring a mechanical system for physical scanning along the sample. This is obtained by the provision of means for processing the light received by the photodetectors (5), said processing means having a correlation wherein each of the photodetectors (5) corresponds to a spatial point on the sample (4).In the case of dark field applications, the present invention ensures the standardization of the data using the same measure.
