Multispectral and hyperspectral sensors are expensive to deploy and restricted to use only under optimal solar conditions. This project proposed a low-cost active imaging solution tailored to the material characterization (TRL – 0). Initiated in September 2022, testing has been performed on initial active source selection and initial camera requirements.
Principal outcomes are ongoing, including development of a tunable multispectral camera.
Next steps are to finalize active source emission requirements and active camera sensitivity requirements, test against laboratory hyperspectral imagers, and the writing and filing of patent(s).
