G. Resizing spectrum per channel

• Area scaling approach

∴ 𝑓𝑛 =𝐴𝑛𝐴𝑟

→ 𝑓𝑛 ∙ 𝐹 𝜆

6. Conclusions


• Compute spectra is possible using image matrix

detector

• The multi-spectrometer needs a reference light to be

calibrated

• The wavelength range depends on FOV, although it

could be changed due to assembly problems

• The wavelength range is between 400nm and 800nm

(VIS) with a estimated resolution of 30nm.

• The multi-spectrometer has a estimated measurement

uncertainty of±5nm

Future works and

Further development

• Optimize the code, reduce time consumption and

display spectra in real time

• The algorithm can be improved and tested in mobile

phones, taking advantages from cameras sensor

• Propose another wavelength calibration process with a

new approach, the linear approach was first done

• Work on an intensity calibration
