Marine Environment Monitoring

An innovative hyperspectral LIDAR instrument has been developed for applications in marine environment monitoring research activities, remotely detecting the fluorescence spectra produced in the spectral interval between 400 nm and 720 nm. The detection system is composed by a custom made photomultiplier charge integrating and measuring (CIM) unit, which makes automatic background signal subtraction, and a liquid crystal tunable filter (LCTF). The new instrument therefore has hyperspectral resolution and allows automatic background subtraction; it is compact and automated by custom software that permit to adapt the instrument properties depending on the environmental conditions. Laboratory tests to characterize the instrument performance have been carried out, concluding that this sensor can be employed in remote sites for Chl-a detection.

Spectral Multiplexing

Hyperspectral (HS) imaging involves the sensing of a scene’s spectral properties, which are often redundant in nature. The redundancy of the information motivates our quest to implement Compressive Sensing (CS) theory for HS imaging. This article provides a review of the Compressive Sensing Miniature Ultra-Spectral Imaging (CS-MUSI) camera, its evolution, and its different applications. The CS-MUSI camera was designed within the CS framework and uses a liquid crystal (LC) phase retarder in order to modulate the spectral domain. The outstanding advantage of the CS-MUSI camera is that the entire HS image is captured from an order of magnitude fewer measurements of the sensor array, compared to conventional HS imaging methods.

Optical biomedical imaging in short wave infrared (SWIR) range within 0.9–1.7 μm is a rapidly developing technique. For this reason, there is an increasing interest in cost-effective and robust hardware for hyperspectral imaging data acquisition in this range. Tunable-filter-based solutions are of particular interest as they provide image processing flexibility and effectiveness in terms of collected data volume. Acousto-optical tunable filters (AOTFs) provide a unique set of features necessary for high-quality SWIR hyperspectral imaging. In this paper, we discuss a polarizer-free configuration of an imaging AOTF that provides a compact and easy-to-integrate design of the whole imager. We have carried out image quality analysis of this system, assembled it and validated its efficiency through multiple experiments. The developed system can be helpful in many hyperspectral applications including biomedical analyses.
