Outline • About DIRSIG • Need for the project • Goals • Theory • Examples • Future directions • Questions
About DIRSIG • DIRSIG: Digital Imaging and Remote Sensing group Image Generation model • RIT’s synthetic image generation model • Ray tracer for image generation of simulated environments • Collection of models that simulate the world • Scenes built in AutoCAD • MODTRAN / FASCODE for atmospheric propagation (HydroMod) • Therm for thermal modeling • Sensor module to simulate sensor properties • ...
Need for the project • Hyperspectral imaging sensors are useful • Provide more clues for identification of materials, inversion of image components. • IFTS are hard to design • Need to see what kind of artifacts and image quality one will get from a design. Effect of FT operation is not intuitive. • DIRSIG currently does not have the capability to simulate IFTS
Project Goals • To generate simulated IFTS image cubes with DIRSIG, while ensuring that first order design artifacts and image chain related problems are included. (i.e., to generate image cubes as true to reality as possible.) http://www.pgd.hawaii.edu/higp_smifts.html
Theory • Many variations in design of IFTS available • Limited to two designs: Michelson and Sagnac • Michelson • Collects spectral information over time • Spatial information collected like an image • Sagnac • Spectral information collected spatially (over one FPA dimension) • Spatial info collected over other FPA dimension + pushbroom scanning
Fixed Mirror y f Moving Mirror Object Plane f’ Image Plane y’ Michelson Interferometer • Frame camera • Must stare at one point during the collection time • Interferogram collection method • Collect interference image • Move mirror (change OPD) • Change view angle • Repeat • ...
Michelson Interferometer... • Input spectrum changes with view angle and pointing accuracy • Collects one slice of image cube at every time interval
Aperture Mirrors Telescope focus Spherical lens Cylindrical lens Beam splitter detector Sagnac Interferometer • Pushbroom Scanner • Collect entire interferogram over one axis of the FPA • Each interferogram is collected instantaneously • Examples • FTHSI on MightySat II.1 • MTU sensor for water quality of GL
Spectrum - interferogram - spectrum • Remove DC term (Subtract average from interferogram) • Take FT to get the Spectrum • Cosine Fourier transform if symmetrical • Magnitude of Fourier transform if noisy
Temporal (Michelson) Each path has same number of reflections, transmissions (beamsplitter) Variable spectral resolution Image size limited by FPA size Pointing accuracy Reference wavelength needed Spatial (Sagnac) Shorter interferogram collection time (can sense temporally changing spectra) No moving components Compactness Resistant to mechanical failure Push-broom mode (vs staring) Advantages/Disadvantages • Advantages over other sensor types • Throughput advantage (no slits) • Multiplex advantage (Michelson only)

Future • Near term • Spatial oversampling • Spectral response • Long term • Other artifacts listed in proposal and literature • Aperture function for Sagnac • Beamsplitter RT product effects • Registration of interferogram images • Validation with real IFTS data?
