Robust System for Hyperspectral Imaging in the LWIR Spectral Region with Uncooled Thermal Detector

The paper describes a robust detection system based on long wave infrared cameras and hyperspectral optics. System was developed for a remote detection of the volatile substances, as well as for low-cost hyperspectral detection based on uncooled microbolometric sensors. The paper describes overall construction challenges and achieved performance and typical characteristics of the system.
