Résumé

Hyperspectral and multispectral imaging can record a single scene across a range of spectral bands. The resulting three-dimensional dataset is called a "hypercube". A spectrum is available for each point of the image. This makes it possible to analyse, quantify or differentiate the elements and materials constituting the scene. This article presents the existing technologies on the market and their main characteristics in the VIS/NIR spectral domain (400-1000 nm). It then focuses on a specific multispectral technology called snapshot multispectral imaging, combining CMOS sensors and pixelated multispectral filters (filtering at the pixel level).
