Abstract

Systems and techniques for imaging spectroscopy using improved data acquisition for infrared and near-infrared imaging. A first filter corresponding to a first wavelength may be positioned in the optical path of an infrared camera, and subframe data may be acquired for different exposures. A second filter corresponding to a second different wavelength may be positioned in the optical path of the infrared camera, and subframe data acquired for different exposures. Image data for the first wavelength and the second wavelength may then be compared to reference spectroscopic data.
