Hyperspectral Imaging Laboratory

The hyperspectral Imaging Laboratory (HIL) is sponsored by the Electrical Engineering Department at NMT and the U.S. Department of Agriculture - Agriculture Research Services.  The HIL is a shared facility by senior design students, graduates, and researchers interested in the area of spectral imaging (VIS, NIR, and TIR).

The following instrumentation and software is available at the HIL:

• A hyperspectral imaging camera with a resolution of 1.4 Mpixels and 12-bit digital output capable of acquiring spectral images from 450 nm - 1100 nm, in increments of 10 nm and FWHM of 10 nm.

• High resolution 0.1 micron linear resolution motorized stage.

• A Fast Steering Mirror (FSM) with sub-micro radian 1" diameter mirror.

• Single and multi-line IR laser illuminators.

• FLIR Thermal camera sensitive in the range 7-13 um.

• RGB CMOS camera with a resolution of 7 Mpixels.

• NIST-traceable calibration panel, spectrally flat in the VIS/NIR range.

• Altera FPGA DE2 board with 1.3 MB RGB CCD camera connected to the GPIO.

• Three PC stations with internet access.

• Software licenses for IDL, MATLAB, and LabVIEW.
