Kestrel Vision SWIR - Test and demonstration of Multivariate Optical Elements (MOEs) for spectral target detection

The Authority wishes to conduct an experiment to assess the utility of Short Wave Infra Red (SWIR) Multivariate Optical Elements (MOEs) for detection of materials by their spectral reflectance characteristics. In the proposed experiment, a scene containing materials of interest would be imaged by three systems: 1. A conventional "pushbroom" hyperspectral imager (HSI) with a scanning mechanism to allow creation of a 2-d image; 2. A conventional multispectral imager (MSI) with band-pass filters appropriate to the mat...
