Abstract:
A spectral imaging device is configured to capture color images synchronized with controlled illumination from different color light emitting diodes. A processor in the device applies a coupling factor to sampled color images to convert sampled pixels into spectral channels corresponding to LED color and color filter. Multi-spectral spectricity vectors produced at pixel locations are used along with spatial information to classify objects, such as produce items.

Claim (Index 9):
An apparatus for spectral imaging comprising:\n an image sensor operable to obtain images, the images comprising pixel values corresponding to locations in a field of view of the image sensor; an illumination source comprising at least three LEDs, each a different color; a drive circuit that selectively strobes on the LEDs synchronized with capture of frames of the images by the image sensor; means for obtaining multi-spectral channel values per pixel corresponding to the LEDs; means for computing a spatial relationship function of pixels sampled from different locations of the field of view; and means for classifying an object depicted in the images as being one of plural different classes based on the multi-spectral channels per pixel and spatial relationship function.
