openhsi 0.2.1

Library to calibrate, trigger and capture data cubes for the open source hyperspectral camera.

Welcome to the Open Source DIY Hyperspectral Imager Library

Library to calibrate, capture and process data cubes for the open source DIY hyperspectral camera.

Documentation can be found here: https://openhsi.github.io/openhsi/.

Install

pip install openhsi

or

conda install -c openhsi openhsi

The source code can be found on GitHub.

Requirements

• Python 3.7+

Depending on your camera sensor, install:

• Ximea SDK (See https://www.ximea.com/support/wiki/apis/Python)
• FLIR Spinnaker SDK with the python package (See https://www.flir.com/products/spinnaker-sdk/)
• LUCID SDK (See https://thinklucid.com/downloads-hub/)

Development and Contributions

This whole software library, testing suite, documentation website, and PyPI/conda package was developed in Jupyter Notebooks using nbdev. {% include important.html content='This library is under active development and new features are still being added. ' %}

Taking a single hyperspectral datacube

The example shown here uses a simulated camera for testing purposes. Replace SimulatedCamera with the appropriate Python class for your own camera to work with real hardware. For example, use LucidCamera imported from openhsi.cameras inplace of SimulatedCamera.

from openhsi.capture import *

with SimulatedCamera(img_path="assets/rocky_beach.png", n_lines=1024, processing_lvl = 3,
                    json_path="assets/cam_settings.json",pkl_path="assets/cam_calibration.pkl") as cam:
    cam.collect()
    fig = cam.show(plot_lib="matplotlib",robust=True)

fig.opts(fig_inches=7,title="simulated hyperspectral datacube")

Hardware cameras

The hardware consists of a collimator tube with a slit (1) mounted in a 3D printed housing (2). A diffraction grating (3) is used to split the incoming light into its component colours to be detected on the camera sensor (4).

We have the following implementations in cameras module:

• WebCamera
• XimeaCamera
• LucidCamera
• FlirCamera

These all have the same interface so in principle, these OpenHSI cameras can be used interchangeably as long as you have the right calibration files.
