This document shows the current state of the research work done around the SmartSpectra project. The SmartSpectra project is a Research, Technological development and Demonstration (RTD) project funded under EU s Fifth Framework Programme (FP5) by the Information Society Technologies (IST) Programme. The project pursues the development of a Smart Multispectral System for Commercial Applications. SmartSpectra is an acronym of "Smart Multispectral System for Commercial Applications." In this project, a Smart Multispectral System will be designed and implemented. The system will allow multispectral imaging with an aff ordable cost and proven robustness, in order to achieve a broad use of multispectral techniques in several commercial areas and applications. The system will have the capability to be integrated in currently established production systems. Moreover,it will be flexible enough to be applicable to a wide range of applications. The document is organized as follows: In the introductory chapter, we present the SmartSpectra project, emphasizing the parts in which we are involved. Next chapter is devoted to explain the concept of the SmartSpectra camera, defining its specifications. Chapters 3 and 4 detail the realised work regarding Workpackages 2 and 3 of the project. Workpackage 2 deals with the optical and sensing part of the SmartSpectra system. It summarizes the state of the art in VIS & NIR technologies, lists the purchased sensors for the project and describes the AOTF (Acousto-Optic Tunable Filter) technology. Workpackage 3 explains the sensor electronics and interface. Two different prototypes of the SmartSpectra camera are described, along with the Firewire subsystem. These chapters are followed by a Progress Review and Future Work. Last chapter is a final summary of the work. The document ends with a group of annexes showing the outcomes of the work.

Techniques and Applications of Hyperspectral Image Analysis gives an introduction to the field of image analysis using hyperspectral techniques, and includes definitions and instrument descriptions. Other imaging topics that are covered are segmentation, regression and classification. The book discusses how high quality images of large data files can be structured and archived. Imaging techniques also demand accurate calibration, and are covered in sections about multivariate calibration techniques. The book explains the most important instruments for hyperspectral imaging in more technical detail. A number of applications from medical and chemical imaging are presented and there is an emphasis on data analysis including modeling, data visualization, model testing and statistical interpretation.

The quantity of visual information encountered experimentally by scientists across a wide range of fields has grown dramatically in recent years. As a result, the importance of dealing with multivariate data (data obtained by measuring a number of different quantities simultaneously) present in images has become much more important, and the requirement for techniques which are able to manage and analyse these data has become crucial for the practising scientist in many diverse disciplines. Multivariate Image Analysis gives the reader a sound understanding of the importance of, and the principles behind, multivariate image analysis. A short introduction to the image and its perception is followed by a discussion of some popular techniques of multivariate image formation, taken from fields such as microscopy, remote sensing and medical imaging. The principles behind one of the key multivariate techniques, principal components analysis, are thoroughly explained without going too far into the theory: The important concepts of residual visualization and local modelling are explained. Throughout, the power of the techniques discussed is demonstrated with the use of simple worked examples to illustrate the concepts, and more complex examples to indicate to the reader how a complete analysis would be carried out. The book is richly illustrated with colour images. Multivariate Image Analysis is of great interest to all those involved in the analysis of data contained in complex images. The techniques discussed are widely applicable, and are finding use in fields such as microscopy, satellite remote sensing, medical imaging, radiology, analytical chemistry, spectroscopy and astronomy.

The book is self-contained in the sense that it is accessible to engineers, scientists, and practitioners having no prior experience with morphology. In addition, most necessary background notions about digital image processing are covered. The emphasis being put on the techniques useful for solving practical problems rather than the theory underlying mathematical morphology, no special knowledge about set theory and topology is required. Nevertheless, the book goes well beyond an introduction to mathematical morphology. Indeed, starting from the fundamental transformations, more elaborate methods which have proven their practical usefulness are explained. This is achieved through a step by step process pursued until the most recent advances.
