This method has three distinct advantages, if compared to common commercial multispectral imaging systems - considerably improved spectral selectivity (or colour sensitivity) of imaging, avoided motion artefacts in the spectral image sets, and simpler\/faster image processing as integrals over the spectral bands of imaging are replaced by numbers of the fixed working wavelengths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe basic principles and progress in this field are reviewed, focusing on applications for human skin diagnostics and printed forgery detection. The designs of ten different lab-developed prototypes that implement this method are described, along with results of their laboratory, clinical and\/or forensic tests. This research leads to the development of new equipment and protocols for better skin diagnostics and the advanced detection of money, document, and artwork forgeries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter 1 explains the basics of spectral imaging, including the main principles of multispectral and hyperspectral imaging. Chapter 2 introduces the snapshot multi-spectral-line imaging (SMSLI) method, focusing on lasers as multi-wavelength illumination sources. Chapter 3 describes multi-laser illumination designs while Chapter 4 presents main specifications of the lab-assembled prototype devices implementing such designs. Results of the test measurements confirming applicability of the developed solutions for analysis\/mapping of colour pigments in clinical diagnostics and forgery detection are discussed in Chapters 5 and 6, respectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis will be a valuable reference for laser and imaging professionals, photonics researchers and engineers, clinicians (dermatologists, plastic surgeons, oncologists), forensic experts, and students of physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, and engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e· Reviews techniques and applications of narrowband spectral imaging using multi-laser illumination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e· Presents ten different prototypes for implementing the multi-spectral-line imaging method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e· Discusses applications of spectral line imaging for human skin diagnostics and forgery detection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56434710610294,"sku":"9781032757292","price":68.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_29977891.jpg?v=1760338077","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781032757292-ultra-narrowband-multispectral-imaging","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
