In some examples, motion capture data of unobstructed portions of the surface are captured, and spectral data of the surface are captured through a slit assembly and diffraction grating. The motion capture data are processed to determine a movement of a scanning device. At this stage, the spectral data are translated and rotated based on the movement of the scanning device to generate images that each correspond to a different color channel. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system for providing hyperspectral scanning of a surface, comprising: a camera to obtain a video stream of the surface;
