Multi-slit configured hyperspectral imager

A method of hyperspectral imaging, said method comprising:

• (a) receiving data from an imaging platform, wherein said imaging platform overflies an area, wherein said imaging platform comprises a hyperspectral imager having multiple slit apertures, and wherein each of said multiple slit apertures provides a separate data stream;
• (b) organizing said data into a plurality of datasets, each of said plurality of datasets corresponding to a different one of said multiple slit apertures, such that a number of said plurality of datasets is equal to a number of said multiple slit apertures and each of said plurality of datasets corresponds to a single data stream;
• (c) synchronizing said plurality of datasets to thereby produce synchronized data for said area;
• and
• (d) synthesizing said synchronized data to thereby produce a single reading for said area.
