A novel, compact visible multispectral, polarimetric camera is under development. The prototype is capable of megapixel imaging with sixteen wavebands and three polarimetric images. The entire system encompasses a volume less than 125mm x 100mm x 75mm. The system is based on commercial megapixel class CMOS sensors and incorporates real time processing of hyperspectral cube data using a proprietary processor system based on state of the art FPGA technology.
