Abstract

This paper describes the development of a signal and image processing system for the hyperspectral biomedical imager (HBI). The HBI forms hyperspectral images of human tissue with high spatial and spectral resolution. The final goal of the research project is to develop a fully functional HBI image formation/processing system based on Texas Instrument´s TMS320C6X floating-point digital signal processing (DSP) chip. This would permit fast and efficient data processing, enhancing the utility of the HBI.
