Claim:
1. A micro-electro-mechanical (MEMS) based surveillance system for imaging an object, the MEMS based surveillance system comprising: an imaging optic positioned to receive light associated with the object; a micro-mirror array positioned to receive the light associated with the object from the imaging optic; one or more wavelength selective beamsplitters positioned to receive at least a portion of the light associated with the object from the micro-mirror array; and a plurality of photo-detectors comprising a first photo-detector and a second photo-detector each of which is positioned to receive the at least a portion of the light associated with the object that was reflected from or passed through the one or more wavelength selective beamsplitters, wherein the first photo-detector is sensitive for the at least a portion of the light associated with the object that is within a first wavelength band, and wherein the second photo-detector is sensitive for the at least a portion of the light associated with the object that is within a second wavelength band.
