Multispectral imaging grows in importance in an increasing field of image processing applications. The reason for it is that they provide substantially more spectral information than for example RGB (red-green-blue) colour cameras. For this reason a multispectral camera is designed and developed at the department quality assurance of the Ilmenau University of Technology. Based on well known approaches for filter wheel cameras, a new modular concept was developed particularly for high speed applications. For the complex control and correction computations thereby a field programmable gate array (FPGA) is used.
