Spectral Analysis
Hyperspectral imaging sensors have numerous uses in various fields, from quality control and waste management to environmental monitoring and agriculture. Drone-mounted systems and hyperspectral spectrographs can be integrated into land cover mapping tools in order to assess soil health and its constituent nutrients.
Acousto-optic technology’s central component, spectral analysis, involves decomposing time series data into weighted sinusoidal functions using Fourier transform. This technique can help solve many practical engineering and science issues such as vibrations, interfacial waves and stability analysis.
Spectral analysis can also be applied to dynamic PET scans in order to deduce tissue impulse response functions, though it is sensitive to noise. To mitigate this issue, a technique has been devised that limits the number of component basis functions introduced into solutions when fitting data at the voxel level – this significantly decreases noise sensitivity.
Use of spectral analysis is another approach to image data interpretation, as you can compare its spectrum with that of known materials. With access to an archive of spectra, easily compare those reflected or absorbed by materials under investigation for more informed decisions.
Therefore, spectral analysis can be applied in many business and economic applications that use time series data, such as financial trading software that predicts optimal times to buy or sell stocks.
An essential component of any hyperspectral imaging system, spectral analysis systems enable you to perform various tasks, such as power estimation and spectrum analysis at the pixel-level. Their logarithmic scale also makes low-power components easier to identify.
Spectral analysis is an ideal technique for performing dynamic PET data kinetic analysis at the voxel level. Unlike other spectral techniques, it does not make presumptions about how many compartments or components will be necessary to represent tracer’s time course in tissue and can thus produce more realistic models of its timeliness.

Spectral Imaging
Hyperspectral imaging is a type of imaging that focuses on electromagnetic waves. This technology can be used to locate objects, detect materials or processes, monitor environmental conditions and keep an eye on space exploration efforts. Hyperspectral imaging technology has applications across many industries and is becoming more prevalent with Earth exploration activities.
Hyperspectral imagers are devices which capture multiple images of an area at various wavelengths and combine them to form one spectral image that can then be used for analysis and comparison purposes.
An effective means of performing spectral imaging is the use of an acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF). This filter acts like a linear variable filter and can be adjusted to any wavelength by altering its amplitude; furthermore, an AOTF may also be coupled to either an imaging array or grating for use.
Use of hyperspectral sensors enables another method of creating a spectral image, as they are commonly found on drone-mounted cameras and sensors. Hyperspectral imaging has many practical uses such as military surveillance, detecting hazardous materials, quality control, waste management and agricultural monitoring monitoring – just to name a few!
For effective acousto-optic spectral imaging, it is vital to use a reliable sensor and data processing algorithm. Such systems should be capable of eliminating sensor nonuniformities and atmospheric effects while performing spectral intensity correction – which involves eliminating instrument offset, stray light and filter bleed-through.
Finally, spectral imagers need to have the capability of processing all of the spectral information collected – this can be accomplished using various spectral analysis algorithms.
There are various algorithms available for spectral imaging, including software-based linear unmixing. This approach is especially useful in unifying emission spectra from multiple fluorophores and dyes to analyze live cell imaging, immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, karyotyping and clinical pathology studies.
Double-path acousto-optic spectroscopy systems may also be utilized to achieve more comprehensive spectral images, and are more flexible for placement than single-path systems. They can easily integrate with diffuse reflection and transmission modes; additionally, this method has shown great promise in drug characterization studies and is being further developed to increase efficiency and accuracy.

Spectral Processing
Hyperspectral imaging is an emerging form of spectroscopy used to detect and characterize objects within the visible and near-infrared wavelength ranges. This data is useful in various applications, including environmental monitoring (airborne hyperspectral systems for tracking pollen concentrations), agricultural analysis, food inspection (fruit sorting or inspection of laboratory samples) and quality control.
Hyperspectral sensors differ from traditional RGB imagers in that they capture more bands of the spectrum and thus can differentiate more materials. While this increases processing complexity, it also offers opportunities for developing advanced algorithms for improved detection and classification performance.
Preprocessing techniques, such as band selection and orthogonal transforms, may be employed prior to analysis in order to reduce the number of bands. These measures may allow us to remove redundant ones more efficiently.
Dimensionality reduction is another essential preprocessing step, which can be accomplished by decorrelating bands within a hyperspectral data cube. This removes correlations between adjacent bands that cause redundancy in spectral redundancy, thus increasing spatial resolution.
Dimensionality reduction techniques such as band selection, decorrelating bands and orthogonal transforms are among the most frequently employed. By using them to improve spatial resolution of hyperspectral data while decreasing computational costs.
Pixel Purity Index (PPI) is an efficient technique for identifying pixels that are spectrally pure or unique, using convex geometry and can be applied to MNF images with high spatial resolution.
PPI is not the only method available for identifying pixels with high spectral purity; other techniques exist such as fast iterative pixel purity index (FIPPI). FIPPPI allows one to quickly identify those with greater spectral purity.
Other spectral matching methods may also be employed to unmix and segment spectral images. Examples include normalized spectra similarity score (NS3) which combines Euclidean distance and SAM measures as well as SID/SAM combinations which have higher discriminatory power than their individual measures.
Other techniques for detecting anomalies include using spectral information divergence – using probability distributions to compare similar signals with random ones – and convex geometry methods, such as fast iterative pixel purity index (FIPPI) or N-finder (N-FINDR). For more details about these approaches, see “Spectral Unmixing and Segmentation,” as well as “Spectral Image Classification.”

Spectral Data Analysis
Spectral data analysis refers to a set of computational techniques designed to extract information automatically from digital images, whether captured from color digital cameras, smartphones, or more specialist cameras designed specifically to capture specific kinds of information in an image.
Hyperspectral imaging sensors offer a wider spectrum of spectral channels than traditional color digital cameras, providing increased resolution and precision. This enables hyperspectral imagers to be used for agricultural monitoring as well as remote sensing purposes.
However, it must be remembered that hyperspectral sensor measurements cover multiple spatial locations within an enormous cube (see Figure 1). Analyzing such massive data sets requires fast computers and sensitive detectors – often making the cost prohibitive in many applications.
Dimensionality reduction is the first step in analyzing hyperspectral data, eliminating redundant bands by decorrelating their images and decorrelating band images with each other. Popular methods for this process are band selection or orthogonal transforms like Principal Component Analysis (PCA).
One method for reducing the spectral dimensionality of a data cube is identifying its most informative bands by calculating their radiance indices, calculated by multiplying input band images by their respective reflectance values for samples. This technique removes redundancies from hyperspectral cubes while simultaneously decreasing computational complexity associated with their analysis.
Once radiance indices have been calculated, they can be used to match measured spectral data against an extensive library of spectral signals and generate additional statistics such as maximum noise fraction (MNF). Finally, they can also be used to create a new dataset containing only informative bands.
Finalizing spectral data with Fourier transform, a generalized mathematical method with both continuous and discrete versions, converts time-domain information to frequency domain data which can then be processed by computer algorithms.
