  • Page 9: Hyperspec ® Inspector Operation

    ® HYPERSPEC INSPECTOR ® CHAPTER 2 HYPERSPEC INSPECTOR OPERATION ® The Hyperspec Inspector is a fixed position, hyperspectral scanning unit. While the system remains located in a single position, the internal mirror moves in an arc to scan a designated field of view. The mirror movement, system operation, capture parameters and data cube analysis is performed with the compact Hyperspectral Data Processing Unit, cHDPU.

  • Page 19 ® HYPERSPEC INSPECTOR (8) Click the Calibration button, shown circled in Figure 3-4. The Calibration window opens, labeled Uncorrected Video Histogram. The Histogram window is used to show the value of collected reference samples, and select the number of samples to collect using the pull-down to the left of the buttons.
  • Page 20 (13) Close and restart the Hyperspec III application. (14) Verify the Dark and White reference files are in C:\\headwall\sensor1\calibration. The files are saved with a time stamp format. The most recent have no date/time stamp. The Inspector is now calibrated for hyperspectral scanning.

(4) Set the pan speed to a value approximately 6 degrees per second. (5) Click the Waterfall button to open the waterfall view. (6) Left click and drag the slider approximately 25 degrees from the current setting and observe the waterfall view.

  • Page 26: Test Capture

    ® HYPERSPEC INSPECTOR The above example shows the waterfall as a blurred, blue hued image. The cause of the blurring is the speed of motion. When the unit stops moving, reduce the speed, left click the slider and move it to the original position. When the speed is set correctly the waterfall image will become clear.

The view will be similar to the following figure. Figure 3-16. Transfer File Directory. (11) Select the file that ends in .hdr, in the above figure it is raw_2000.hdr. (12) The data cube opens, as shown in the following image.
