ABSTRACT:
A method of restoring low spatial frequency spectral information to an image using a Fizeau Fourier transform spectrometer (“FFTS”) system is provided. Portions of a wavefront collected by the FFTS are interfered. The interference patterns are Fourier transformed to generate spectral images. A region of the image is identified, for which spectral information is predetermined. Object estimates are generated, each of which corresponds to a spectral image. Each object estimate is iteratively adjusted applying a system spectral optical transfer function (“SOTF”) to it and modifying it until a match is made with the corresponding spectral image. Each adjusted object estimate is then iteratively restored by applying a system optical transfer function (“OTF”) to it and then applying a DC bias to it until a match is made between the identified region in the sum of the object estimates and the identified region of a measured panchromatic object image.
