Is building a hyperspectral camera out of projector parts possible?

Open void4 opened this issue 5 months ago • 0 comments

Digital projectors use micromirror devices to project light through a lens onto a surface. By replacing the light source with a camera behind a prism or diffraction grating and actuating these small mirrors one by one, thus inverting the light path, could one record a spectrum for each pixel?

  • subtract the recorded light from a calibration frame with no mirrors actuated, and possibly one pixel-specific calibration frame
