Abstract: A hyperspectral camera based on a continuously variable film filter and a coating method thereof can solve interference between partial bands of the hyperspectral camera based on the continuously variable film filter. The hyperspectral camera includes: a camera body and a detector chip, wherein a continuously variable film is coated on the detector chip; a semi-transmission half-cut filter is provided in front of the continuously variable film, and a distance between the semi-transmission half-cut filter and the continuously variable film is 0 mm. According to the present invention, the semi-transparent half-cut filter and the detector chip are integrated without any gap therebetween. As a result, optical interference caused by incident light sequentially passing through the semi-transparent half-cut filter and the detector chip is greatly reduced, which can reduce distortion of spectral signals, and finally satisfy wide-band application requirements which can be truly realized based on such technology.

Abstract: Measures are provided to encode a signal. An input frame is received and down-sampled to obtain a down-sampled frame. The down-sampled frame is passed to an encoding module which encodes the down-sampled frame to generate an encoded frame. A decoded frame is obtained from a decoding module which generates the decoded frame by decoding the encoded frame. A set of residual data is generated by taking a difference between the decoded frame and the down-sampled frame and is encoded to generate a set of encoded residual data. The encoding comprises transforming the set of residual data into a transformed set of residual data. The set of encoded residual data is output to a decoder to enable the decoder to reconstruct the input frame. Measures are also provided to decode a signal.
