Abstract

We fabricated 16-, 25-, 36-, and 64-channel distributed passband-type multi-spectral filter arrays by utilizing a multilayer-type photonic crystal and integrated them onto a CCD to form a snapshot-type spectroscopic sensor. Reflection spectra from target objects (fruits) under broadband light illumination were estimated directly using the Wiener estimation method. A root mean square error of the reflectivity on the order of $2 \sim 5\%$ was obtained under optical shot noise with $6 \times 6$ pixel binning. A number of constituent filters of 36 was sufficient for this type of fruit spectral measurement. We also visualized reflection images at specified wavelengths by applying the estimation method to a multiple filter region on the sensor.
