Abstract
A spectrometer for capturing two dimensional images of observed scenes in a sequence of spectral sub-bands wherein each measurement of a sub-band occurs over a two dimensional detector array at the same time. Sub-band measurement sequences are executed based upon, a) environmental conditions, b) user priorities, and, c) results of real-time analysis of the two dimensional spectral scene data outputs from the sensor.
Claims7
A sensing apparatus in the form of an adaptive spectral imaging sensor system that observes a two dimensional scene and focuses light on a two dimensional, electronically controlled, variable spacing grating that produces very high resolution spectral images of observed scenes measured with a two dimensional detection array, wherein the array measures the two dimensional scene being observed in a single spectral sub-band at the same time over the two dimensional observed field of view.
