    • found: Journal of biomedical optics, Oct. 2013:p. 100901-1 (Spectral imaging is a technology that integrates conventional imaging and spectroscopy to get both spatial and spectral information from an object. Although this technology was originally developed for remote sensing, it has been extended to the biomedical engineering field as a powerful analytical tool for biological and biomedical research. ... Spectral imaging is also known as imaging spectroscopy, which refers to the technology that integrates conventional imaging and spectroscopy methods to obtain both spatial and spectral information of an object. ... Spectral imaging can be divided into multispectral imaging, hyperspectral imaging (HSI), and ultraspectral imaging according to its spectral resolution, number of bands, width, and contiguousness of bands)
    • found: Biomedical optical imaging technologies, 2013:p. 111 (Spectral imaging is a relatively new field in which the advantages of optical spectroscopy as an analytical tool are combined with the power of object visualization as obtained by optical imaging; it creates a three-dimensional data set that contains many images of the same object, where each one of them is measured at a different wavelength)
    • found: Readout : Horiba technical reports (Online), May 2011:p. 68 (As the name suggests, spectral imaging refers to any imaging modality that has as its output a spatial description of a scene of interest as well as its spectral composition at discrete points (pixels) in the image. ... There are several classification schemes of the different spectral imaging methodologies. Perhaps the broadest of such schemes classifies all spectral imaging methods into one of two groups: Multispectral and Hyperspectral imaging)
    • found: Optics express, Mar. 28, 2011, via WWW Feb. 3, 2014:pp. 6913-6914 (Spectrally encoded spectral imaging. ... The optical spectrum emitted from a specimen carries invaluable information regarding its structure, chemical composition and physical parameters. Spectral imaging, a combination of imaging and spectroscopy, provides three dimensional spectral cubes which contain the spectra of all the points of the imaged object. Spectral imaging has been shown useful for a wide variety of applications, including earth sciences, oceanography, homeland security, the food industry, as well as for biological and clinical applications. Optical techniques for acquiring full spectral images often include a wavelength dependant optical module and an imaging system for capturing spectral information)
    • found: UCLA Library WWW home page, Feb. 3, 2014libraries and collections/digital collections/Livingstone (David) Special Imaging Project/ project pilot: Letter from Bambarre/[2nd paragraph] read more about spectral imaging here (Spectral imaging, a digital imaging technique with a variety of applications, is used in cultural heritage studies to enhance select components of a document or object. The object is illuminated by a number (typically 11 to 13) of narrow bands of wavelengths of light from the ultraviolet (UV) through the visible and the infrared (IR) spectrum. An image is taken of the object when exposed to each wavelength, with the resulting series of images stacked together to form a spectral map of the imaged object. ... There are two levels of spectral imaging: hyperspectral and multispectral. With hyperspectral imaging, an object is exposed to a broad range of very narrow wavelengths across the UV, visible and IR portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Multispectral imaging (the technique applied to Livingstone's manuscripts) only exposes the object to a set of predetermined wavelengths in this portion of the spectrum)
