Investigation on a modular high speed multispectral camera

Multispectral imaging grows in importance in an increasing field of image processing applications. The reason for it is that they provide substantially more spectral information than for example RGB (red-green-blue) colour cameras. For this reason a multispectral camera is designed and developed at the department quality assurance of the Ilmenau University of Technology. Based on well known approaches for filter wheel cameras, a new modular concept was developed particularly for high speed applications. For the complex control and correction computations thereby a field programmable gate array (FPGA) is used.
