''[[Multispectral imaging]]'' captures a small number of spectral bands, typically three to fifteen, through the use of varying filters and illumination. Many off-the-shelf RGB camera sensors can detect wavelengths of light from 300 nm to 1200 nm.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.red.com/red-101/infrared-cinema |access-date=2024-04-09 |website=www.red.com}}</ref> A scene may be illuminated with NIR light, and, simultaneously, an infrared-passing filter may be used on the camera to ensure that visible light is blocked and only NIR is captured in the image. Industrial, military, and scientific work, however, uses sensors built for the purpose.

▲[[Hyperspectral imaging]] is another sub-category of spectral imaging. It is a combination of [[spectroscopy]] and [[photography]], in which a complete [[spectrum]] or some spectral information (such as the [[Doppler shift]] or [[Zeeman splitting]] of a [[spectral line]]) is collected at every pixel in an [[image plane]]. Often, the phrase "spectral imaging" is used to denote this acquisition of a complete spectrum for every pixel in an image plane. Hyperspectral images are often represented as an image cube, a type of [[data cube]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://herschel.esac.esa.int/DP_wkshop/4_Gueguen_v2.pdf |title=Visualization and Analysis of Spectral Data Cubes an Hipe toolbox (sic) |website=herschel.esac.esa.int|date=2008-12-04 |accessdate=2017-04-28}}</ref>
==Systems==
Spectral imaging systems are the systems that through the acquisition of one or more images of a subject are able of giving back a spectrum for each pixel of the original images.
There are a number of parameters to characterize the obtained data:
[[imaging spectroscopy]] or ▼
* Spatial resolution, which can be described in terms of number of pixels for the whole image, or in terms of minimum square area distinguishable on the surface. Typically it depends on the number of mega pixels of the photographic camera
[[chemical imaging]]. ▼
* Spectral resolution, that define the smallest spectral variation that the system is able of distinguish
* Radiometric accuracy, that says how accurate is the system in measuring the spectral reflectance percentage
The most used way to achieve spectral imaging is to take an image for each desired band, using a narrowband filters. This leads to a huge number of images and large bank of filters when a significant spectral resolution is required.
There is another technique, much more efficient and based on multibandpass filters, which allows obtaining a number of final bands starting from a limited number of images. The taken images build a mathematical base with enough information to reconstruct data for each pixel with a high spectral resolution. This is the approach followed by the Hypercolorimetric Multispectral Imaging <ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Colantonio|first1=C.|last2=Pelosi|first2=C.|last3=D’Alessandro|first3=L.|last4=Sottile|first4=S.|last5=Calabrò|first5=G.|last6=Melis|first6=M.|date=2018-12-19|title=Hypercolorimetric multispectral imaging system for cultural heritage diagnostics: an innovative study for copper painting examination|url=https://doi.org/10.1140/epjp/i2018-12370-9|journal=The European Physical Journal Plus|language=en|volume=133|issue=12|pages=526|doi=10.1140/epjp/i2018-12370-9|bibcode=2018EPJP..133..526C |s2cid=256110781 |issn=2190-5444}}</ref>(HMI) of Profilocolore<ref>{{Cite web|title=Spectral Imaging Systems {{!}} Profilocolore {{!}} Beyond the natural vision|url=https://www.profilocolore.com/|access-date=2021-08-06|website=Profilocolore|language=en-US}}</ref> SRL.
