Location and spectral extraction algorithm for a static broadband snapshot imaging spectrometer

Abstract

A location algorithm and a spectral extraction algorithm for a static broadband snapshot imaging spectrometer (SBSIS) are presented. The high-energy target is dispersed into a V-shaped pseudo-image (VPI) in the focal plane of the SBSIS. The location algorithm accurately calculates the target azimuth based on the one-to-one mapping relationship between the intersection position of the extension lines of the two arms of the VPI and the azimuth of the target. The spectral extraction algorithm is described to extract the characteristic spectrum of the target based on the azimuth angle of the target and the VPI.
