Abstract
A spectroscopy system for high-accuracy, highly automated spectral imaging of a target is provided. Video and spectrometry information are obtained via an integrated video, spectrometry and distance sensing platform and processed by a computer. The processed video and spectrometry information are presented in real-time on an integrated display, with a graphical representation of the actual ground instantaneous field of view of the spectrometer sensor overlaid directly onto the video image of the target to provide real-time target aiming information, thus enabling the operator to rapidly optimize spectral data acquisition.
