HIGH PERFORMANCE MULTISPECTRAL IMAGING

Real Time Processing

Snapshot spectral imagers obtain the entire spectral dataset during a single detector integration period, which provides a distinct advantage in spectral imaging of fast-changing phenomena.

The amount of information generated by snapshot systems is still a key challenge since their application to many practical tasks depends on the ability to process substantial volumes of data to make decisions in real time. A snapshot multispectral video system must process at rates keeping pace with the real-time acquisition of images.

LightShift is unique in its capability to process images spectrally in real time, from initial gain and offsets compensation to spectroradiometric calibration through decision-oriented processing, including spectral correlation using varied algorithms.

SOFTWARE

LightShift Pro

The LightShift PRO Software application operates in two modes: live video imaging mode or playback of stored video mode. The user has the option to stream live video from the camera and playback stored video simultaneously in two separate windows within the LightShift application window. The software also supports multiple playback windows running simultaneously.
