Review of snapshot spectral imaging technologies

Abstract: Within the field of spectral imaging, the vast majority of instruments used are scanning devices. Recently, several snapshot spectral imaging systems have become commercially available, providing new functionality for users and opening up the field to a wide array of new applications. A comprehensive survey of the available snapshot technologies is provided, and an attempt has been made to show how the new capabilities of snapshot approaches can be fully utilized.
