Abstract
A miniaturized device providing hyperspectral imaging in real-time includes a body, a camera within the body, a micro-LED array arranged around the camera within the body, and an imaging controller within the body and coupled to the camera and the micro-LED array. The micro-LED array includes micro-LEDs of varying spectral bands. A method for controlling an imaging device includes providing LED timing information and LED intensity information to a micro-LED array, providing camera timing information to a camera for capturing a plurality of images, and receiving the plurality of images from the camera. The timing information includes a timing signal to each micro-LED of the micro-LED array and each timing signal includes a pulse. An image of the plurality of images is captured for a time period associated with each timing signal.
