Abstract:
Disclosed is apparatus and a method for displaying a time code. The apparatus comprises: a plurality of reflectors ( 502 ), each reflector ( 502 ) being configured to reflect an incident signal ( 907, 908 ), each reflector ( 502 ) being switchable between a first state and a second state; and a controller ( 108 ) configured to receive time code information and control the reflectors ( 502 ) using the received time code information. In its first state, each reflector ( 502 ) has a first orientation such that an incident signal ( 907, 908 ) is reflected in a first direction. In its second state, each reflector ( 502 ) has a second orientation such that an incident signal ( 907, 908 ) is reflected in a second direction, the second orientation being different to the first orientation such that the second direction is different to the first direction. The displayed time code is used as a time stamp for measuring the image processing latency of an imaging system, particularly an hyperspectral aerial imaging system maging in different wavelength bands.

Claim (Index 1):
Apparatus for displaying a time code, the apparatus comprising:\n a plurality of reflectors, each reflector being configured for substantially simultaneous illumination by an incident signal such that each reflector may reflect the incident signal, each reflector being switchable between a first state and a second state; and a controller configured to receive time code information and control the reflectors using the received time code information; wherein in its first state, each reflector has a first orientation such that an incident signal is reflected in a first direction; and in its second state, each reflector has a second orientation such that an incident signal is reflected in a second direction, the second orientation being different to the first orientation such that the second direction is different to the first direction, and further comprising a signal source configured to transmit a signal to the plurality of reflectors; and a sensor configured to detect the signal reflected from the plurality of reflectors a further signal source configured to transmit a further signal to the plurality of reflectors; and a further sensor configured to detect the further signal reflected from the plurality of reflectors; the signal is an electromagnetic signal; and the further signal is an electromagnetic signal within a different range of the electromagnetic spectrum to the range of the electromagnetic spectrum of the signal.
