Motivation
Spectroscopy is most important analysis tool in all natural sciences
Astrophysics, chemical/material sciences, biomedicine, geophysics,…
Industry applications:Mining, airborne sensing, QA,…
In computer graphics:Colors
Material reflectance
Spectral/predictive rendering
…

Spectral Imaging
Records image at narrow wavelength bandsIn visible range not only RGB (3 channels)but many more (6-400 channels)
Result: 3D data cube2 spatial image axis
1 wavelength axis
Ralf Habel 4
Spectral Imaging
Usually done with highly specialized devicesMany methods to build devices
Scanning slits, rotating mirrors, special sensor, filters, prisms, …
Usually scan along one of the data cube axis
All very costly due to opto-mechanical components
“Simplest” spectral imager:Camera + band filters
Requires switching of filters
Limited in number of bands
Ralf Habel 5
Motivation
Why not use consumer cameras and equipment for spectral imaging?
High quality, very sensitive
Highly accurate lenses
Practical Constraints:No camera modification
No lab/desktop/optical bench setup
No expensive components

CTIS Principle
Computed Tomography Image SpectrometerDiffraction grating parallel-projects 3D data cube in different directions on image plane (sensor):
Sensor records projections of 3D data cube All information needed is recorded in one image
“Snapshot” spectrometry
Challenge is to reconstruct 3Ddata cube from projections
Tomographic rec. with ExpectationMaximization

HDR Image Acquisition
No overexposed pixels allowed
Projections (diffractions) weaker than center image
Avoids noisy signal where camera response is weak
Ralf Habel 18
Spatial Wavelength Calibration
Mapping from 3D data cube into projectionsLaser pointers (red, green and blue) with known wavelengths shot through a diffusor and pinhole
Monochromatic point light source
Pictures of pinhole give mapping of one voxel in 3D data cube
All other projections valuesinterpolated/extrapolated

Spectral Response Calibration
Spectral response of the diffraction grating + RGB sensor for red, green and blue
Picture of light source with continuous known spectrum
We use calibrated halogen lamp
Ralf Habel 22
Spectral Photography Results
Take HDR picture with CTIS camera objective
Reconstruct 3D data cube for red, green and blue image color channels
Mapping from spatial calibration
Combine RGB spectral response of each pixel to true spectrum with spectral de-mosaicking
Mapping from spectral response calibration

Spectral Photography Results
Protoype data cube resolutions:
120x120 pixels4.59 nm (54 channels)
Accuracy reduced in high blue and low reds dueto color filters
Slight Expectation Maximization reconstruction artifacts
Nowhere near possible optimum!

Future
Better CTIS objectiveDrain pipes and duct tape have their limits…
Optimized optical path and components
More compact/integrated device
Increase data cube resolution/accuracy:Structured aperture
Digital holography – form diffraction/projections in any way
Better solutions to tomographic reconstruction
Is active research in optics
No vision based approach yet!
Ralf Habel 27
Future
Turning mobile devices into spectrometers - consumer spectroscopy?
8 MP high sensitivity sensors
HDR capabilities
Very low cost!
“Snapshot” capability: Spectral movies with consumer cameras?
Not only good for computer graphics:Blood sample analysis
Water contamination analysis
As part of a TricorderTM
