Abstract:
1. A system for evaluating objects, the system comprising: at least one physical source operable to emit electromagnetic energy; driver electronics drivingly coupled to the at least one physical source, the driver electronics configured to drive the at least one physical source with an electromagnetic forcing function as a number of logical sources, at least some of the logical sources having a different emission spectra than other of the logical sources, the number of logical sources greater than a number of physical sources of the at least one physical source; and a sensor configured to receive an electromagnetic response from at least a portion of at least one evaluation object being evaluated, the evaluation object illuminated by one or more of the at least one physical source operated as one of the logical sources and convert the electromagnetic response to a response signal indicative of the electromagnetic response of the at least one evaluation object.
