Patent number: 7589772Abstract: An apparatus and method for multispectral imaging comprising an array of filters in a mosaic pattern, a sensor array and an acquisition and processing module. The sensor array being disposed to receive an image that has been filtered by the array of filters. The acquisition and processing module processes the output of the sensor array (or mosaic acquired data) to provide a processed image. The acquisition and processing module processes the mosaic acquired data by performing first interpolation on the mosaic acquired data by the sensor array to provide a first approximation and performing second interpolation on the values of the first approximation to provide a second approximation.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2006Date of Patent: September 15, 2009Inventors: Ronald R.

Patent number: 7219086Abstract: A hyper-spectral analysis method for characterizing or distinguishing diverse elements within hyper-spectral images. A plurality of patches of pixels from within the hyper-spectral images are extracted as being patches around pixels of the elements to be characterized or distinguished. The statistics of spectra for each patch of pixels are computed. A first classifier is computed from frequency-wise standard deviation of the spectra in each patch and a set of second classifiers are computed from principal components of the spectral in each patch. A combined classifier is computed based on the output of the first classifier and at least one of the second classifiers. The elements are characterized or distinguished based on the output of at least one of the classifiers, preferably the combined classifier.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2005Date of Patent: May 15, 2007Assignee: Plain Sight Systems, Inc.Inventors: Frank Geshwind, Ronald R.

Patent number: 6859275Abstract: Encoded spatio-spectral information processing is performed using a system having a radiation source, wavelength dispersion device and two-dimensional switching array, such as digital micro-mirror array (DMA). In one aspect, spectral components from a sample are dispersed in space and modulated separately by the switching array, each element of which may operate according to a predetermined encoding pattern. The encoded spectral components can then be detected and analyzed. In a different aspect, the switching array can be used to provide a controllable radiation source for illuminating a sample with radiation patterns that have predetermined characteristics and separately encoded components. Various applications are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2001Date of Patent: February 22, 2005Assignee: Plain Sight Systems, Inc.Inventors: William G. Fateley, Ronald R.

Publication number: 20040218172Abstract: An adaptive digitally tuned light source is disclosed, in the form of a de-dispersive imaging spectrograph in both the visible and near infrared spectral regions. The devices are capable of illuminating a sample with appropriate energy-weighted spectral bands or spatio-spectral bands that relate only to the constituents of interest. The energy from each of the spectral resolution elements can be digitally modulated to provide a tuned weighted spectral output. A tuned light source device based on the present disclosure can be adapted for use in a conventional imaging microscope system to enable direct measure of spatio-spectral features of interest.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2004Publication date: November 4, 2004Inventors: Richard A.

Publication number: 20030062422Abstract: Systems and methods for encoded spatio-spectral information processing are disclosed. In a specific aspect, the invention involves applying or embedding of digital information in the spectral profile of materials, such as inks and paints, to provide the functionality of bar codes or labels, and reading such information from objects. Recording of digital information is enabled onto or into physical media with or without the use of printed symbols, by spraying, mixing or enabling a specific chemical changes resulting in digital information being encoded onto or into carrying materials. Because the information is encoded in the spectral signatures of compositions of materials, the precise location, shape, orientation and arrangement of marks is generally not used in the process of decoding. Various applications are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2002Publication date: April 3, 2003Inventors: William G. Fateley, Ronald R. Coifman, Frank Geshwind, Richard A. DeVerse

Patent number: 6392748Abstract: A spectrometer (10) includes a two-dimensional array of modulatable micro-mirrors (18), a detector (20), and an analyzer (22). The array of micro-mirrors is positioned for receiving individual radiation components forming a part of an input radiation source. The micro-mirrors are modulated at different modulation rates in order to reflect individual radiation components therefrom at known and different modulation rates. The micro-mirror array combines a number of the reflected individual radiation components and reflects the combined components to the detector. The detector is oriented to receive the combined radiation components reflected from the array and is operable to create an output signal representative thereof. The analyzer is operably coupled with the detector to receive the output signal and to analyze at least some of the individual radiation components making up the combined reflection.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2000Date of Patent: May 21, 2002Assignee: Plain Sight Systems, Inc.Inventor: William G.
