Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue covers spectral imaging, related technologies, and their applications in science, engineering, industry, vision, and cultural heritage. The goal of spectral imaging is to recover radiance and reflectance spectra at each pixel in a scene. Typically, such spectral imaging systems consist of a digital sensor coupled to a dispersive device, which divides the incoming light into several spectral bands. These spectral channels might be narrow or broad-band. Depending on the number of bands used, spectral systems can be classified into multispectral imaging systems, when a small number of 3–10 bands is used; hyperspectral systems, if the number of bands extends up to 10–100; or ultraspectral, when the number is greater than 100. If the number of bands is sufficiently large and their bandwidths are sufficiently small, as with hyperspectral and ultraspectral imaging systems, spectral data can be recovered with high accuracy and precision.

This Special Issue aims to highlight the advances in spectral imaging science, focusing on theoretical, applied, and technological applications. The contents include image capture procedures, the spectral characterization of image capture devices, the estimation of spectral functions from conventional image capture systems, evaluation of the accuracy or performance of multispectral images, computational spectral imaging, spectral image processing, registration, encoding, compression, polarimetric, high dynamic range or panoramic spectral imaging, spectral imaging with mobile devices, etc. Moreover, this Issue covers applications in agriculture, remote sensing, medicine, food analysis, mineralogy, surveillance, chemical imaging, forensic science, beauty care, image restoration, art, cultural heritage, and archeology.

In this paper, a methodological approach based on hyperspectral imaging (HSI) working in the short-wave infrared range (1000–2500 nm) was developed and applied for the recycling-oriented characterization of post-earthquake building waste. In more detail, the presence of residual cement mortar on the surface of tile fragments that can be recycled as aggregates was estimated. The acquired hyperspectral images were analyzed by applying different chemometric methods: principal component analysis (PCA) for data exploration and partial least-squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) to build classification models. Micro-X-ray fluorescence (micro-XRF) maps were also obtained on the same samples in order to validate the HSI classification results. Results showed that it is possible to identify cement mortar on the surface of the recycled tile, evaluating its degree of liberation. The recognition is automatic and non-destructive and can be applied for recycling-oriented purposes at recycling plants. Full article

In this study, effective solutions for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) recycling based on hyperspectral imaging (HSI) coupled with variable selection method, were developed and optimized. Hyperspectral images of post-consumer plastic flakes, composed by PET and small quantities of other polymers, considered as contaminants, were acquired in the short-wave infrared range (SWIR: 1000–2500 nm). Different combinations of preprocessing sets coupled with a variable selection method, called competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS), were applied to reduce the number of spectral bands useful to detect the contaminants in the PET flow stream. Prediction models based on partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) for each preprocessing set, combined with CARS, were built and compared to evaluate their efficiency results. The best performance result was obtained by a PLS-DA model using multiplicative scatter correction + derivative + mean center preprocessing set and selecting only 14 wavelengths out of 240. Sensitivity and specificity values in calibration, cross-validation and prediction phases ranged from 0.986 to 0.998. HSI combined with CARS method can represent a valid tool for identification of plastic contaminants in a PET flakes stream increasing the processing speed as requested by sensor-based sorting devices working at industrial level.

Recent advances in smartphone technologies have opened the door to the development of accessible, highly portable sensing tools capable of accurate and reliable data collection in a range of environmental settings. In this article, we introduce a low-cost smartphone-based hyperspectral imaging system that can convert a standard smartphone camera into a visible wavelength hyperspectral sensor for ca. £100. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first smartphone capable of hyperspectral data collection without the need for extensive post processing. The Hyperspectral Smartphone’s abilities are tested in a variety of environmental applications and its capabilities directly compared to the laboratory-based analogue from our previous research, as well as the wider existing literature. The Hyperspectral Smartphone is capable of accurate, laboratory- and field-based hyperspectral data collection, demonstrating the significant promise of both this device and smartphone-based hyperspectral imaging as a whole.
