AIC 53rd Annual Meeting

The lunch session is designed to delve into the fundamental aspects of multiband (MBI), multispectral (MSI), and hyperspectral (HSI) imaging in a welcoming setting that invites learning, inquiry, and exchange. The first part of the session will include an invited presentation on light-matter interaction focusing on the phenomena that provides the foundation for MBI, MSI and HSI. The second part of the session shifts from phenomena to technique and will include two invited presenters to cover MBI and imaging spectroscopy (MSI and HSI). The presenters will define these techniques and their principles of operation, highlighting advantages and limitations of the techniques with case studies of applications and media. Presenters will also touch on instrumentation and requirements for setup, calibration, processing, and analysis. Other important topics include the knowledge required to acquire and interpret spectral data and variations in equipment setups and corresponding general price points. The planning group intends to further co-develop this session with the invited speakers to ensure that the session is impactful, and participants walk away feeling more confident to discuss and make decisions around spectral imaging. Each of the presentations will be followed by time for Q&A and a resource document will be assembled to share with participants.
