Abstract
Described is a method which uses spectral data simultaneously collected in a continuous array of discrete wavelength points of the visible spectrum adjacent to the infrared and near infrared part of the light spectrum. The spectral data is collected using a number of detectors with different sensitivity ranges. Some detectors may be sensitive to visible and possibly, to part of the near infrared portion of radiation. Spectral data from die infrared spectrum is collected with the infrared detectors, and are in some embodiments insensitive to the visible links.
