Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of optical design technology, and in particular to a shortwave infrared hyperspectral telescope head. Background Technology

[0002] Spectral imaging technology, by reconstructing spectral "data cubes," provides a crucial data foundation for hyperspectral classification, enabling it to play a significant role in fields such as mineral exploration and environmental monitoring. However, the actual performance of this technology, especially the accuracy and stability of hyperspectral classification, is heavily constrained by the inherent characteristics of the operating wavelength: visible light-based systems are susceptible to scattering interference from atmospheric particles such as clouds, fog, and smoke, leading to a significant decrease in data quality under adverse weather conditions, directly affecting the reliability of classification models; while mid-infrared-based systems, although possessing certain penetrating capabilities, face problems such as a scarcity of effective observation channels and severe signal attenuation due to strong absorption by atmospheric water vapor, which limits the spectral information dimensions available for classification and identification.

[0003] The shortwave infrared band lies within a typical atmospheric transmission window, and its dual advantages of low atmospheric scattering and weak water vapor absorption endow it with excellent all-weather detection performance. This characteristic allows it to effectively penetrate harsh environments such as fog, haze, and snow, acquiring spectral data that is less affected by interference and more discriminative of ground features, thus providing a cleaner and more stable input source for hyperspectral classification models. Simultaneously, it performs excellently in target recognition, exhibiting high spatial resolution and strong anti-interference capabilities; these characteristics ideally complement hyperspectral technology. Therefore, this paper designs a shortwave infrared hyperspectral telescope. Summary of the Invention
