Examples of direct linear or non-linear analysis of the spectral bands of hyperspectral images that resulted in more efficient multispectral imaging techniques are given. Various image analysis methods for the detection of defects and/or contaminations on the surfaces of Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Gala, and Fuji apples are compared. Surface defects/contaminations studied include side rots, bruises, flyspecks, scabs and molds, fungal diseases (such as black pox), and soil contaminations. Differences in spectral responses within the 430–900 nm spectral range are analyzed using monochromatic images and second difference analysis methods for sorting wholesome and contaminated apples. An asymmetric second difference method using a chlorophyll absorption waveband at 685 nm and two bands in the near-infrared region is shown to provide excellent detection of the defective/contaminated portions of apples, independent of the apple color and cultivar. Simple and requiring less computation than other methods such as principal component analysis, the asymmetric second difference method can be easily implemented as a multispectral imaging technique.

In the early days of this technology, there were many who saw the potential of these new instruments for environmental measurements and how this technology could be integrated into emissions and ambient air monitoring for the measurement of flux. However, the monitoring community did not embrace ORS as quickly as anticipated. Several factors contributing to delayed ORS use were: • Cost: The cost of these instruments made it prohibitive to purchase, operate and maintain. • Utility: Since these instruments were perceived as “black boxes.” Many instrument specialists were wary of how they worked and how the instruments generated the values. • Ease of use: Many of the early instruments required a well-trained spectroscopist who would have to spend a large amount of time to setup, operate, collect, validate and verify the data. • Data Utilization: Results from path integrated units were different from point source data which presented challenges for data use and interpretation.

We found that the absorption rate of electromagnetic waves reached 99.95% at 1.563 THz. Later, we ana- lyzed the effect of structural parameter changes on absorption. Finally, we explored the application of the absorber in refractive index sensing. We numerically demonstrated that when the refractive index (n) is changing from 1 to 1.05, our absorber can yield a sensitivity of 74.18 µm/refractive index unit (RIU), and the quality factor (Q-factor) of this sensor is 36.35. Compared with metal–dielectric–metal sandwiched structure, the absorber designed in this paper is made of stainless steel materials with no sandwiched structure, which greatly simplifies the manufacturing process and reduces costs.

  • Hyperspectral Imaging for Predicting the Internal Quality of Kiwifruits
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Hyperspectral Imaging for Predicting the Internal Quality of Kiwifruits Based on Variable Received: 18 April 2016 Accepted: 11 July 2017 Selection Algorithms and Published: xx xx xxxx Chemometric Models Hongyan Zhu1, Bingquan Chu1, Yangyang Fan1, Xiaoya Tao2, Wenxin Yin1 & Yong He1 We investigated the feasibility and potentiality of determining frmness, soluble solids content (SSC), and pH in kiwifruits using hyperspectral imaging, combined with variable selection methods and calibration models. The images were acquired by a push-broom hyperspectral refectance imaging system covering two spectral ranges. Weighted regression coefcients (BW), successive projections algorithm (SPA) and genetic algorithm–partial least square (GAPLS) were compared and evaluated for the selection of efective wavelengths. Moreover, multiple linear regression (MLR), partial least squares regression and least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) were developed to predict quality attributes quantitatively using efective wavelengths. The established models, particularly SPA-MLR, SPA-LS-SVM and GAPLS-LS-SVM, performed well. The SPA-MLR models for frmness (Rpre = 0.9812, RPD = 5.17) and SSC (Rpre = 0.9523, RPD = 3.26) at 380–1023 nm showed excellent performance, whereas GAPLS-LS-SVM was the optimal model at 874–1734 nm for predicting pH (Rpre = 0.9070, RPD = 2.60). Image processing algorithms were developed to transfer the predictive model in every pixel to generate prediction maps that visualize the spatial distribution of frmness and SSC. Hence, the results clearly demonstrated that hyperspectral imaging has the potential as a fast and non-invasive method to predict the quality attributes of kiwifruits. Fruit quality represents a combination of properties and attributes that determine the suitability of the fruit to be eaten as fresh or stored for a reasonable period without deterioration and confer a value regarding consum- er’s satisfaction1, 2.

  • Hyperspectral Microscopy for Early and Rapid Detection Of
    HYPERSPECTRAL MICROSCOPY FOR EARLY AND RAPID DETECTION OF SALMONELLA SEROTYPES by MATTHEW BRENT EADY (Under the Direction of Bosoon Park) ABSTRACT Optical microbial detection methodologies have shown the potential as early and rapid pathogen detection methods. This proof-of-concept project explores the use of hyperspectral microscopy as a potential method for early and rapid classification of five Salmonella serotypes. Darkfield hyperspectral microscope images were collected at early incubation times of 6, 8, 10, and 12 hrs., then compared to 24 hrs. incubation. Hypercube data collected from cells were analyzed through multivariate data analysis (MVDA) methods to assess classification ability of early incubation times. A separate experiment was conducted to explore the ability of analyzing hyperspectral data collected from only informative spectral bands as opposed to the original 89 spectral bands. MVDA showed that incubation times as early as 8 hours had near identical spectra and classification abilities compared to 24 hours; while the original 89-point spectrum could be reduced to 3 selected spectral bands and maintain high serotype classification accuracy.

  • Section1: Introduction to Hyperspectral Imaging
    Section1: Introduction to Hyperspectral imaging The information provided here is a short overview of NIR spectroscopy and hyperspectral imaging for a novice to this field. Please consult literature in the Reference section for more informative explanation and further reading. What is NIR hyperspectral imaging? Hyperspectral imaging is a combination of imaging and spectroscopy. What does spectroscopy entail? Spectroscopy studies the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation and records the amount of radiation absorbed or emitted as a spectrum over a specific wavelength range. What is electromagnetic radiation? In physics, electromagnetic radiation is defined as the waves of the electromagnetic field. The waves propagates through space and time and carries electromagnetic energy. Waves are characterized by their frequency of oscillation (number of times that a wave passes by a certain point per unit time) or by the wavelength (units expressed as nm or cm-1 for wavenumber). Waves of different frequencies make up the electromagnetic spectrum. Figure 1: An electromagnetic wave can be defined by the length from one point to the identical point on the next wave and is indicated as wavelength (nm) or wavenumber (cm-1). What is the electromagnetic spectrum? The electromagnetic spectrum covers the range of frequencies from the wavelengths with shorter frequencies linked to nuclear radiation (Gamma rays), which carries high energy, followed by X-rays, ultraviolet (UV)-, visible-, infrared (IR) to the radio waves, which carry low energy (Fig 2). Figure 2: Schematic for the electromagnetic spectrum. Gamma rays have short wavelengths and this increase in the direction of the Radio waves. As wavelengths decrease the energy levels increase.

  • Dual-Camera Design for Hyperspectral and Panchromatic Imaging, Using A
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Dual-camera design for hyperspectral and panchromatic imaging, using a wedge shaped liquid crystal as a spectral multiplexer Shauli Shmilovich 1,5*, Yaniv Oiknine 2,5*, Marwan AbuLeil2, Ibrahim Abdulhalim 2,3, Dan G. Blumberg4 & Adrian Stern2 In this paper, we present a new hyperspectral compact camera which is designed to have high spatial and spectral resolutions, to be vibrations tolerant, and to achieve state-of-the-art high optical throughput values compared to existing nanosatellite hyperspectral imaging payloads with space heritage. These properties make it perfect for airborne and spaceborne remote sensing tasks. The camera has both hyperspectral and panchromatic imaging capabilities, achieved by employing a wedge-shaped liquid crystal cell together with computational image processing. The hyperspectral images are acquired through passive along-track spatial scanning when no voltage is applied to the cell, and the panchromatic images are quickly acquired in a single snapshot at a high signal-to-noise ratio when the cell is voltage driven. Over the last decades, spectral imaging1–4 has become progressively utilized in airborne and spaceborne remote sensing tasks5,6, among many others. Today it is used in many felds, such as vegetation science7, urban mapping8, geology9, mineralogy10, mine detection11 and more. A large amount of these spectral imagers take advantage of the platform’s motion, and acquire the spectral data by performing along-track spatial scanning of the imaged object4,12. Te spectral information could then be measured directly, that is, by frstly splitting it into spectral com- ponents using a dispersive or difractive optical element, followed by a direct measurement of each component.
