A spaceborne limb hyperspectral imager for ozone detection is designed and developed. The hyperspectral imager can provide the limb hyperspectral radiances images with wide-band and large dynamic range. It is composed of an off-axis parabolic telescope and prism dispersive off-axis aspheric spectrometer, and large dynamic range detection can be realized by using a band-attenuation filter. The spectral range is from 280nm to 1000nm, the field of view is 2.4° (limb vertical direction) × 0.02° (horizontal direction), and the focal length is 69mm. The design results meet the requirements of image quality and have the characteristics of small volume and light weight, thereby making it especially suitable for the application of space remote sensing unlike existing methods that utilize complicated scanning mirror and multiple color separators. The limb hyperspectral imager is measured and calibrated on ground. It detected limb hyperspectral radiances on Tiangong-2 spacecraft of China.

Significance: I explore hyperspectral imaging, a rapid and noninvasive technique with significant potential in biometrics and medical diagnosis. Personal identification was performed using cross-sectional hyperspectral images of palms, offering a simpler and more robust method than conventional vascular pattern identification methods.

Aim: I aim to demonstrate the potential of local cross-sectional hyperspectral palm images to identify individuals with high accuracy.

Article Synopsis
  • This study examined how phenylephrine (PE) affects both brain and skeletal muscle microcirculation in rats using a combination of hyperspectral near-infrared spectroscopy and diffuse correlation spectroscopy.
  • Results showed that PE caused a decrease in oxygenation and blood flow in skeletal muscle while increasing cerebral oxygenation and perfusion initially, despite a later drop in brain blood flow.
  • The findings suggest that while PE induces vasoconstriction in skeletal muscles, it can redirect and enhance blood flow to the brain, indicating a complex interplay between peripheral and cerebral circulation.

Significance: Hyperspectral cameras capture spectral information at each pixel in an image. Acquired spectra can be analyzed to estimate quantities of absorbing and scattering components, but the use of traditional fitting algorithms over megapixel images can be computationally intensive. Deep learning algorithms can be trained to rapidly analyze spectral data and can potentially process hyperspectral camera data in real time.

Spatial and Spectral Reconstruction of Breast Lumpectomy Hyperspectral Images.

(1) Background: Hyperspectral imaging has emerged as a promising margin assessment technique for breast-conserving surgery. However, to be implicated intraoperatively, it should be both fast and capable of yielding high-quality images to provide accurate guidance and decision-making throughout the surgery. As there exists a trade-off between image quality and data acquisition time, higher resolution images come at the cost of longer acquisition times and vice versa.

The vascular supply to the human eye plays a vital role in maintaining ocular health, making its non-invasive evaluation essential for diagnosing and managing various ocular disorders. This paper presents a novel approach utilizing hyperspectral imaging (HSI) to non-invasively characterize human eye vasculature. The proposed system aims to specifically identify the blood atrium and veins of the human eye at 470 nm and 750 nm, respectively, using quantitative phase analysis and k-means clustering.
