Rotational hyperspectral scanner and related image reconstruction algorithm

Sci Rep. 2021 Feb 8;11(1):3296. doi: 10.1038/s41598-021-82819-8.

Abstract

We design and implement a compact and lightweight hyperspectral scanner. Based on this, a novel rotational hyperspectral scanner was demonstrated. Different from translational scanning, rotational scanning is a moveless and stable scanning method. We also designed a relevant image algorithm to reconstruct the image from an angular recorded hyperspectral data cube. The algorithm works well even with uncertain radial and tangential offset, which is caused by mechanical misalignment. The system shown a spectral resolution of 5 nm after calibration. Finally, spatial accuracy and spectral precision were discussed, based on some additional experiments.
