Compact Multi-Spectral Imager for Nanosatellites

UPDATES 22nd September 2020: Our paper “Compact multispectral pushframe camera for Nanosatellites” was highlighted as an Editor’s Pick by the Applied Optics journal. Our work has also been a focus of a Special Report in the IEEE Signal Processing magazine.

CMSIN is an evolution of the single-pixel camera architecture, addresses the limitations of cameras in space-based applications. Using a novel ‘pushframe’ architecture CMSIN is design for hyper-spectral observation of fast moving scenes while retaining high spatial resolution and sensitivity.
