Abstract

A remote platform obtaining a spectrum of one or more locations by moving the platform to sequentially illuminating the locations with different wavelengths of radiation. The different wavelengths of radiation reflected from the locations may be sequentially detected and converted into data. Spectra of the locations may be assembled from the data that was sequentially collected as the platform moved.
